FAQs

A slip top spoon is a style of early English silver flatware popular during the 16th and 17th centuries, distinguished by a plain stem cut diagonally at the terminal end without a decorative knop.

Spoons from this era were primarily hand-hammered from sterling silver, though pewter and latten were used for non-aristocratic everyday tableware.

Authentic Jacobean silver spoons typically feature a fig-shaped bowl, a hand-forged hexagonal or flattened stem, and town or maker hallmarks struck inside the bowl or along the stem.

Early silver spoons are often displayed inside wall-mounted velvet shadow boxes, arranged on acrylic stands within glass cabinet displays, or incorporated into framed decorative collections.

Historical silver should be handled with cotton gloves, cleaned gently using a non-abrasive silver foam or cloth, and stored away from excess humidity to prevent aggressive oxidisation.
