FAQs

Introduced in the mid-17th century, a trefid spoon is a style of silver flatware characterised by a notched, three-lobed terminal at the top of the handle and a broad oval bowl.

Trefid spoons were primarily fashioned from sterling silver, hallmarked by silversmiths to denote purity, maker, location, and year of production.

Genuine pieces from the Charles II period feature specific English hallmarks stamped on the stem or bowl, flat stems, notched terminals, and characteristic rat-tail or ribbed bowl supports.

Historic silver cutlery can be displayed within glass cabinetry, arranged on sideboards in presentation cases, or framed as decorative wall art in dining spaces.

Antique silver should be gently cleaned using a soft cloth and specialised non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemicals, and stored in tarnish-resistant cloth bags.
