It was listed by Puckerings. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Puckerings has dated this piece to the 1880s.
The handle is made by one of my very favourite London silversmith's, William Comyns. The front has an embossed scene of a young Victorian lady seated under a tree in a rural surrounding. The reverse side has a delightful embossed foliate design with a bird. The handle terminates with what looks like an inverted crown shape.
The silver is hallmarked for London 1888. Excellent condition, measuring an impressive 15 1/2" in length.
