FAQs

Victorian fruit and berry spoons were specialized serving utensils popular during the nineteenth century, designed with gilded or chased bowls decorated with embossed fruit motifs to serve fruit courses at formal dinner tables.

These items were typically forged from solid sterling silver or silver plate, often incorporating parcel-gilt bowls to protect the metal from fruit acids, and presented in silk- and velvet-lined leatherette cases.

Authentic Victorian silver pieces carry official hallmark stamps indicating the maker, silver purity, assay office, and date letter, alongside period-appropriate repousse or chased metalwork.

These spoons can be displayed in open presentation cases on a sideboard top, arranged within glass display cabinets, or brought out during formal dinner occasions to elevate table settings.

Clean silver flatware gently using a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish, ensuring the metal is dried completely before storing in an acid-free lined presentation box to minimise tarnish.
