FAQs

Apostle spoons are silver spoons featuring a finial shaped as an apostle or saint, popular across Western Europe from the 15th to 17th centuries, predominantly presented as christening gifts.

These spoons were typically hand-hammered from sterling silver, featuring a fig-shaped bowl attached to a hexagonal or square stem, topped with a separately cast and soldered figure finial.

Authentic pieces display period hallmarks stamped inside the bowl or on the stem, visible signs of hand-hammering, and soft surface wear consistent with age around the cast finial details.

These historical pieces can be displayed flat in a lined velvet tray within a glazed display cabinet, mounted inside a shadow box frame, or featured as part of a curated table setting collection.

Dust regularly with a dry microfibre cloth and polish sparingly using gentle silver cream, avoiding harsh liquid dips that strip natural oxidisation from the detailed relief carvings.
