Pair of George I Antique Silver Spoons

18th century
Description

A great pair of Britannia Standard solid silver tablespoons, dating from the last few years of the reign of George I.

They carry matching hallmarks for London 1723 with the maker's mark for Hugh Arnett & Edward Pocock and are in the Hanoverian design, typical of the fashion at the time. The hallmarks on Hanoverian spoons are bottom struck i.e. on the stem towards the bowl end. There is no family crest or engraving on the finial.

The Britannia Standard was introduced in 1696 and signifies a purer standard of silver than sterling - 95.8% compared to the 92.5% of sterling.

FAQs

Silver flatware produced during the George I period (17141727) is predominantly defined by the Hanoverian pattern, featuring plain stems with upturned ends, prominent central ridges, and oval bowls often finished with a rat-tail or drop heel.

Spoons from this era were hand-forged from sterling silver, comprising 92.5% pure silver alloyed with copper for structural durability, before being hallmarked by an official assay office.

Authentic pieces carry a sequence of British assay hallmarks, including the lion passant mark, town mark, date letter, and makers mark, along with period-specific construction details such as upturned stem terminals and cast construction joints.

Period silver spoons can be arranged atop a dining table setting, displayed inside a glass-fronted cabinet, or curated as part of a decorative sideboard vignette alongside historic metalwork.

Clean silver using a soft cotton cloth and specialized, non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh chemical dips or mechanical dishwashers that strip natural patination.
