6 Gerardus Boyce New York Coin Silver Teaspoons C1820 Federal Flower Basket

19th century
Description

A matching set of six American Federal coin silver teaspoons made by Gerardus Boyce in New York circa 1820. Each spoon bears the G.BOYCE maker’s mark on the back of the handle.

The detail on the handles is particularly fine. Each rounded tip features a latticework basket filled with flowers, with foliage falling to either side. Just beneath the basket are the intertwined initials “CB”, engraved in flowing script. Turn a spoon over and a second decorative detail appears beneath the bowl, where a scallop shell fans out from the stem.

Each teaspoon measures approximately 14.6 cm long. The six weigh 83.8 grams in total.

Condition: Very good antique condition, with light surface marks from use. The flower baskets, shell decoration and monograms remain well defined. There is no damage or restoration.

Moulded scallop shell behind each bowl: traditional drop reinforcement of the early 19th century.
Hand-cut script monogram on each stem: period engraving style.
Fine surface scratches throughout: normal wear from two centuries of careful table use.

Federal era coin silver flatware refers to American silver items produced between 1788 and 1840, crafted by melting down silver currency to achieve an alloy purity of approximately 892 to 900 parts per thousand.

These teaspoons were forged from a coin silver alloy comprising roughly 90 percent pure silver blended with copper for structural durability, finished with hand-engraved surface patterns.

Authentic pieces feature maker hallmarks such as G. BOYCE or N.Y. stamped on the stem reverse, accompanied by period-appropriate construction, pointed bowls, and hand-engraved basket or floral designs.

Silver teaspoons can be displayed inside a crystal vessel on a dining room sideboard, arranged within a framed wall display case, or used as functional accents for formal tea services.

Clean coin silver using specialized silver polish applied with a non-abrasive cotton cloth, avoid mechanical dishwashers, and store items inside anti-tarnish fabric sleeves to limit oxidisation.
