This Victorian sterling silver spoon exhibits an intricate aesthetic typical of English country house silver. The piece comprises a large, scalloped bowl with detailed floral piercing and engraving, connected by a distinctively wavy stem to an armorial finial bearing a coat of arms. The silver displays a polished finish with subtle signs of age and tarnishing within the recesses of the bowl and decoration. The spoon measures 1 cm high, 16.5 cm wide, and 6.5 cm deep. Suitable for period dining settings or decorative display, the spoon functions effectively as a tea or sugar sifter. Placed on a sideboard top, it adds a touch of traditional craftsmanship to a dining room or living space. The item includes British hallmarks for Chester, dating the piece to 1901 by the maker B. Mullen & Son of Chester.

FAQs

Victorian silver items often incorporate detailed engraving, repousse decoration, heraldic crests, and pierced metalwork, reflecting the industrial advancement and decorative aesthetic of nineteenth-century Britain.

These items were predominantly crafted from sterling silver, defined in the United Kingdom as an alloy containing 92.5 per cent pure silver mixed with copper for durability.

Authentic British silver bears official assay office hallmarks, including a purity mark such as the lion passant, a town mark indicating the assay location, a date letter, and a makers mark.

Small antique silver pieces can be displayed inside modern glass cabinets, arranged on dining room sideboards, or utilised on bar carts alongside glassware.

Sterling silver should be cleaned using specialised silver polishes and soft cloths, avoiding abrasive chemicals, and stored in dry, anti-tarnish fabric to prevent oxidisation.
