This Victorian medicine spoon is formed from sterling silver with a reflective silver finish and a solid construction. The piece takes a double-ended design, featuring two bowls joined by a plain flat stem marked with stamped hallmarks including a maker mark for Henry Holland alongside London assay office stamps. The object shows light surface spotting inside the bowls along with minor handling marks across the polished metal surfaces. The item measures 13.2 cm high, 2 cm wide, and 2 cm deep. In a contemporary interior, this functional antique item sits neatly on a bookshelf or a display surface within a study or gentleman's library. The compact dual-bowl form allows it to be placed upright or flat as an ornamental cabinet piece or part of a curated display of silver tableware. The solid gauge silver construction makes the piece suitable for handling by collectors interested in nineteenth-century domestic utensils and medicinal implements.

FAQs

A Victorian silver medicine spoon was a specialised domestic implement designed with two different sized bowls to measure precise liquid dosages for administering treatment to infants and adults.

These spoons were primarily crafted from solid sterling silver due to its non-reactive properties, durability, and resistance to corrosion from liquid pharmaceutical mixtures.

Authentic pieces feature official assay hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, standard mark such as the lion passant, and a date letter stamped along the stem or bowl.

These small historical items are typically displayed inside glazed curio cabinets, mounted within shadow box frames, or arranged alongside antique books on a study desk.

Silver spoons should be gently buffed with a soft microfibre cloth and specialist silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or dipping solutions that strip the natural dark patina around historical hallmarks.
