Set of 4 Georgian Solid Silver Skewers

18th century
Description

It's a wonder to find this set of solid sterling silver skewers complete, dating, as they do, from the beginning of the reign of George IV.

All four are clearly hallmarked for London 1826 with the maker's mark for William Chawner II. They feature plain hooped finials, free of initials.

Two are 15cm in length, one is 16.5cm and the largest is 19cm long. The total silver weight is 63g.

Well used, as you would expect, and a wonderful piece of history.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Georgian silver skewers were culinary tools designed to secure joints of meat or poultry during roasting and carving, allowing servers to handle hot food cleanly at the dining table.

They were hand-forged from sterling silver, featuring a long, flattened, tapered blade designed to pass through meat smoothly, topped with a ring or decorative terminal for easy handling.

Authentic pieces display official British hallmarks stamped along the upper blade, including the lion passant standard mark, makers initials, town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the Georgian era.

They can be displayed horizontally on a dining sideboard, showcased inside a framed shadow box, or placed on an office desk to serve as elegant letter openers.

Clean them using warm water and a mild detergent, followed by gentle hand polishing with a specialized silver cloth to remove tarnish without wearing down historical hallmarks.
