FAQs

A lace-back spoon features cast or struck raised scrollwork on the reverse of the bowl, a design prevalent in Britain between the late 17th and early 18th centuries.

They were wrought from sterling silver using hand-hammering techniques, featuring cast or stamped decorations on the bowl and hand-stamped maker marks along the stem.

Authenticity is verified through maker marks, town marks, pricked date initials on the stem terminal, and period-accurate construction such as rat-tail joints.

Collectors often display early flatware framed in shadow boxes or arranged in velvet-lined glazed cabinets to highlight historic hallmarks and relief details.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialised silver polish, avoiding abrasive substances or ultrasonic cleaners that can strip natural patina.
