Description

A lovely set of 6 silver tea or coffee spoons in their original box. They are excellent quality with a 17th century seal style design with round bowls and square tips to the handles. The total weight of silver is approximately 45g.

Each spoon is fully hallmarked for Docker & Burn, Birmingham, 1929.

The interior lid bears the retailer stamp for R.L. Rennison, Jeweller, Sunderland. The box measures 18 cm by 14 cm, while each spoon measures 11 cm in length.

The spoons offer practical utility alongside historical character, making them a functional addition to a traditional tabletop setting.

FAQs

Seal top spoons originated during the Tudor period in England, featuring a flat, disc-like finial or seal at the end of the stem which was historically used to stamp wax seals.

These flatware pieces are traditionally crafted from solid sterling silver, often featuring cast finials soldered onto drawn or hand-hammered stems and bowls.

Look for official makers marks and purity hallmarks on the back of the stem, along with characteristic fig-shaped or teardrop bowls and hand-finished construction details around the seal terminal.

An open presentation case can be positioned flat on a dining room sideboard top or displayed inside a glazed cabinet to introduce a subtle accent of heritage metalwork.

Polish gently with a soft cotton cloth and specialist non-abrasive silver cream, storing the flatware in tarnish-inhibiting lined presentation boxes away from moisture.
