This large solid sterling silver spoon originates from the 1930 period, following an Art Deco style with clean geometric elements. The metal possesses a bright silver finish and a polished surface. The design includes a teardrop-shaped bowl, a geometric chevron stem, and an openwork terminal featuring a coat of arms shield and scroll details. The piece measures 15.6 cm long by 4.5 cm wide and weighs 40 grams. Suitable for display in a home setting, this item functions effectively as a decorative accent on a sideboard top or within a silver collection cabinet. It rests safely on surfaces when not in use for dining or commemorative purposes. The solid construction and distinct heraldic terminal provide a notable talking point for collectors of British silver or livery company memorabilia.

FAQs

Livery company spoons are solid silver or silver-gilt utensils commissioned or awarded by Londons historical trade guilds, often featuring the guilds heraldic coat of arms or motto on the handle terminal.

They are typically crafted from sterling silver with a purity of 925 parts per thousand, stamped with official British assay hallmarks indicating the standard mark, assay office, maker, and year.

Authentic items carry a clear set of stamped hallmarks, including the lion passant standard mark, an assay office symbol such as London or Birmingham, and a specific date letter denoting 1930s production.

Small commemorative silver spoons can be displayed inside velvet-lined shadow boxes, mounted in glass cloches, or arranged inside antique cutlery caddies on sideboards.

Gently wipe the silver with a soft microfibre cloth and a non-abrasive silver cream, avoiding harsh chemical dips or automated dishwashers that compromise surface detail.
