This Charles II period trefid spoon dates from the late seventeenth century, specifically between 1680 and 1685. Made in England from thick gauge sterling silver, the piece has a bright silver finish and a traditional flat handle design with a lobed trefid terminal at the top. The smooth oval bowl connects to the handle via a plain rat tail extension on the reverse, while the front surface of the handle shows minor surface marks, small dark spots, and light wear consistent with early domestic metalware. The maker's mark NG is stamped four times into the reverse of the handle, accompanied by owners' initials engraved on the terminal. The spoon measures 17.8 cm high and 4.1 cm wide. It functions as a historic flatware collectible suited for display on a sideboard top in a traditional dining room or living space within an English country house setting.

FAQs

A Charles II trefid spoon is a style of flatware produced during the Restoration period, recognised by its flat handle ending in a three-lobed or notched terminal and a broad oval bowl.

Flatware from this period was primarily hand-hammered from sterling silver, marked with contemporary hallmarks denoting the maker, city, and silver purity standard.

Authentic pieces feature specific hallmark placement, hand-hammered construction irregularities, characteristic oval bowl shapes, and appropriate surface wear matching late 17th-century techniques.

Early silver flatware is often displayed in framed shadow boxes, arranged inside glazed cabinet displays, or styled as decorative accents on dining sideboards.

Clean gently with a soft cloth and specialized silver polish, avoiding abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to preserve natural surface oxidation and historical patina.
