This pair of Georgian dessert spoons comes in sterling silver with a bright, untarnished finish. Dating to 1801, the spoons carry hallmarks on the reverse including the Lion Rampant, London Assay marks, the date letter F, and the WS monogram for William Seaman. Each spoon displays a deep bowl with a scrolled S motif to the centre, accompanied by repousse foliage, flower decoration, and a chased stem. The handles repeat the S and foliate motif, terminating in a polished rectangular terminal. A visible aged patina appears across the silver surfaces. The dimensions measure 4 cm high, 26 cm wide, and 11.5 cm deep. Placement suits a sideboard top in a dining room or drawing room. The spoons function ideally for serving trifle or berries at a formal dinner table setting.

FAQs

Georgian silver dessert spoons are flatware utensils produced in Great Britain between 1714 and 1830, forged from sterling silver and often decorated with hand-chased or repousse patterns.

Authentic Georgian spoons were crafted from sterling silver, containing 92.5 percent pure silver mixed with copper for structural durability, and feature hand-worked relief ornamentation.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped onto the stem or handle, including the lion passant for sterling silver, a town mark, a date letter, a monarchs head duty mark, and a makers mark.

These decorative spoons can be used as functional serving utensils for desserts, fruit dishes, or trifles, adding historic surface texture and metallic detail to modern table arrangements.

Hand wash in warm water using mild detergent, dry immediately with a non-abrasive cloth, and polish gently with specialized silver polish to manage tarnish without wearing down embossed details.
