This pair of George III sterling silver table spoons follows the Old English pattern and dates to 1777, crafted in London by Walter Tweedie. Each piece possesses a heavy silver gauge, featuring an oval bowl and a turned-down stem decorated with an engraved crest near the terminal. The surface exhibits a bright silver colour with polished metal finishes, alongside slight wear to the engraved crests. Hallmarks stamped on the reverse include the maker mark W.T, the London assay mark, the lion passant, and the date letter b. Measuring 22 cm in length, these utensils fit comfortably in the hand for formal dining or display. They suit placement on a dining room sideboard top or within a cabinet collection in an English country house interior today, adding traditional period character to table settings during meals or gatherings.

Developed in the mid-18th century, the Old English pattern features a plain design with a stem that curves downward at the terminal and an oval bowl. It became one of the standard patterns for British sterling silver flatware during the Georgian era.

Authentic pieces are crafted from sterling silver of 925 purity and bear full London assay hallmarks, including the makers mark, lion passant, leopards head, and a date letter denoting the year of manufacture.

Authentic George III spoons feature hand-hammered oval bowls, clear stamped hallmarks along the stem, crisp engraving if crests are present, and subtle signs of wear consistent with 18th-century production techniques.

These spoons can be displayed on a sideboard top, placed within a crystal decanter or vase, or integrated into modern dining table settings to add historic texture.

Clean silver gently using a soft cloth and a specialised, non-abrasive silver polish, washing afterwards in warm soapy water and drying thoroughly to prevent tarnish build-up.
