This set of six 1706 Queen Anne sterling silver dognose tablespoons comes in a fitted wooden case with a dark fabric lining, brass hinges, and a central metal latch. Each spoon measures 20 cm in length, features an oval bowl with a rat tail on the reverse, and terminates in a dognose handle engraved with a period stag crest. The set originates from London, crafted by John Ladyman, and displays clear maker marks alongside some rubbed date letters. In a modern home, this silverware set suits display on a sideboard top or storage within a dedicated case for formal dining use. The polished silver finish reflects light across the oval bowls, while the rich brown timber of the box contrasts with the dark interior lining. Collectors of early 18th-century English silver find this matching group a practical addition to traditional dining collections.

FAQs

Queen Anne silver flatware, produced between 1702 and 1714, is characterised by unadorned elegance, clean lines, and functional forms. Handles during this period frequently feature a flat, rounded terminal known as a dognose end, often accompanied by a raised rat-tail feature supporting the underside of the spoon bowl.

Tablespoons from the early 18th century were hand-forged using high-purity sterling silver (often Britannia standard 95.8% purity during the mandatory period from 1697 to 1720, or standard sterling 92.5%). Presentation sets were typically housed in timber boxes lined with velvet or silk.

Authentic pieces feature clear British hallmarks stamped on the handle stem or bowl edge, including the makers mark, date letter, town mark, and purity mark. The physical structure typically exhibits hand-hammered forging marks, a substantial weight, and characteristic period shapes like the dognose terminal.

Period silver flatware can be paired alongside contemporary porcelain and linen to create a layered table arrangement. The polished finish of historical silver provides visual balance when contrasted with modern minimalist ceramic tableware.

Clean silver with a specialized non-abrasive silver foam or polish using a soft cotton cloth to avoid surface scratches. Store flatware in tarnish-inhibiting cloth bags or fitted wooden cases away from direct humidity and rubber materials.
