Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

A trifid or trefid spoon is a historical style of flatware introduced to Britain in the 1660s, characterized by a flat stem that ends in a notched, three-lobed terminal.

Spoons from this period were predominantly hand-hammered from sterling silver, marked with town hallmarks, makers marks, and date letters to verify silver purity.

Authentic period examples feature hand-struck hallmarks on the reverse of the handle or bowl, visible hand-hammering facets, and an oval bowl shape often supported by a rat-tail spine.

Individual antique silver spoons can be mounted inside shadow frames, arranged on velvet-lined trays on a sideboard, or displayed within glass cabinet vitrines.

Wash gently with warm water and mild soap, dry immediately with a soft cloth, and occasionally apply a non-abrasive silver polish to control natural oxidisation.
