It was listed by The Silver Cabinet. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.

Description

This is a beautiful solid sterling silver-bladed fish slice, dating towards the end of the reign of King George III.

It is clearly hallmarked on the underside for London 1816 with the makers' mark of Thomas Wallis (II) & Jonathan Hayne. The bone handle is well-attached and in an excellent condition, as is the silver. There are a few light surface abrasions but nothing that would be unexpected for an item of this age. The bright cut decoration on the slice is wonderful.

Height: 2.5cm.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

The fish slice emerged during the mid-18th century in Britain as specialized flatware gained popularity for elaborate dining courses, specifically designed for serving poached or baked fish.

Authentic period pieces typically feature sterling silver blades, often with pierced or engraved designs, paired with handles crafted from bone, ivory, mother-of-pearl, or silver.

Authenticity is verified by examining hallmarks for the makers mark, standard sterling mark, city assay office, and date letter, alongside observing the hand-pierced and engraved details typical of Georgian smithing.

Such pieces can be displayed within glass-fronted cabinets, mounted in shadow boxes, or utilized on sideboards during formal dining occasions to add historical texture to contemporary table settings.

Preservation requires gentle cleaning with non-abrasive silver polish, hand washing with mild soap, and storing in tarnish-resistant cloth in a low-humidity environment to protect both metal and handle materials.
