FAQs

A seal top spoon is a style of silver flatware originating in the 16th and 17th centuries, characterised by a broad fig-shaped bowl and a terminal knop designed to resemble a personal wax seal.

These spoons were hand-forged from solid silver, featuring a cast seal top terminal soldered to a faceted stem attached to a hand-hammered shallow bowl.

Authentic examples feature era-appropriate hallmarks stamped inside the bowl or along the stem, visible hand-hammering marks, natural surface patination, and a characteristic fig-shaped bowl profile.

Antique silver spoons can be presented inside glazed display cabinets, framed within custom shadow boxes, or styled atop a dining room sideboard alongside contemporary ceramics.

Clean silver gently using a soft cotton cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals or aggressive buffing that could wear away historical hallmarks.
