This Georgian silver marrow spoon originates from London in 1733, crafted by maker John Woodward. The piece takes the form of cutlery in a classic Georgian style, rendered in polished sterling silver with a bright, reflective silver colour throughout. Visible details include a smooth oval bowl with a double drop to the reverse, a narrow grooved scoop along the tapered stem, and clear hallmarks on the metal surface. The spoon measures 23 cm in length with a bowl width of 4.3 cm, offering a practical dining utensil for formal or traditional settings. In a contemporary home, the item serves as a collector's display piece on a sideboard top or as part of a formal cutlery service in a dining room.

FAQs

A marrow spoon was a specialized 18th-century dining utensil created specifically to extract bone marrow from roasted meat joints during formal dinners.

Marrow spoons were predominantly forged from sterling silver, hand-hammered by silversmiths, and stamped with official British town and purity hallmarks.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks, including a makers mark, town mark, lion passant for sterling silver quality, and a period date letter.

Antique silver utensils can be displayed inside glass-fronted cabinets, arranged on silver trays on sideboards, or framed within shadow boxes for wall display.

Clean gently using warm water and mild detergent, followed by light polishing with a soft cotton cloth and specialized silver polish to manage tarnish.
