17th Century Silver Trefid Spoon

£580    $735    €698
A good example of a 17th Century solid Sterling silver Trefid spoon with rat-tail handle. It has the traditional upturned three pronged end with original engraved initials ''E.P'' on the reverse.
 
It has a good set of hallmarks, although slightly rubbed, the lion passant and London mark are very clear plus the maker''s mark for William Matthew. The date letter is partly worn but we believe it to be for 1686. The spoon weighs approximately 56g.
 
It is in good condition for its age. There are no major damages and it displays beautifully. There are some faint surface scratches and a few light marks and dinks but nothing detrimental. It has been gently cleaned and polished and is ready for use.
 
Approximate Measurements:
 
Length : 7 1/2'' (19cm)
