FAQs

Berry spoons typically originated as earlier Georgian flatware, such as tablespoons or dessert spoons, that were later retrofitted during the Victorian era with chased, embossed fruit and leaf motifs and parcel gilding.

These items are crafted from sterling silver, often featuring parcel gilding where specific sections are selectively coated with a thin layer of gold, alongside hand-chased and repousse decoration.

Authenticity is determined by examining traditional British hallmarks stamped on the metal, checking the crispness of the hand-chased work, and observing the natural patination and wear associated with age.

They can be displayed mounted in shadow boxes, arranged within a glass-fronted cabinet, or laid out on a sideboard tray to introduce historic texture and metallic contrast into contemporary spaces.

Preservation requires avoiding harsh chemical dips, storing them in tarnish-resistant cloth or tissue, and gently cleaning them with a soft, non-abrasive microfibre cloth designed specifically for silver.
