19th century
For Sale by Aramis Antiques
Description

A George II silver tablespoon hallmarked for the year 1755 with a George II head.

The tablespoon is made in the Hanoverian design, typical of the early Georgians. It features an ornate shell on the back of the bowl, which sets it apart from the ordinary. It bears the original owners initials WT on the back of the shaft, also typical of the time. No doubt people travelled and needed to be able to identifique their belongings from others!

FAQs

George II silver flatware, produced between 1727 and 1760, is defined by solid sterling silver construction and classical proportion. Spoons from this period frequently feature Hanoverian pattern stems with upturned ends, prominent oval bowls, and cast drop heels where the stem joins the bowl back.

Authentic British flatware of this era was crafted from sterling silver, an alloy composed of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% copper for added strength. The metal was hand-hammered and forged into shape, resulting in slight variations in weight and density.

British sterling silver from 1755 bears a four-part hallmark struck on the reverse of the stem. These marks include the leopards head crowned for London, the lion passant indicating sterling purity, a lowercase gothic u for the 1755 date letter, and a makers mark consisting of initials.

Mid-18th-century tablespoons can be displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, organized within velvet-lined drawers, or grouped inside antique silver or glass vessels on a dining sideboard as decorative accents.

Clean sterling silver using specialized polish and a soft cotton cloth, avoiding abrasive pads or harsh chemicals. To prevent tarnish caused by sulfur and humidity, store flatware in anti-tarnish cloth rolls or acid-free storage boxes.
