Wonderful Irish Solid Silver Dublin 1834 Hallmarked Large Table Spoon with Great Winged Bird Family Armorial.

19th century

Sold by Serpentine Antiques

Description

Dublin Irish 1834 hallmarked sterling silver serving or table spoon in the fiddle pattern with lovely family armorial crest of a great winged bird on the stem.

With little use in its lifetime, the shoulders and bowl point are still sharp, as are the hallmarks and the beautiful armorial engraving.

Maker is Peter Walsh.

Size-8 7/8 inches long by 1 7/8 inches wide.

Weight-heavy at 81 grams.

This William IV period spoon is both beautiful and functional for serving food, to complete a canteen, or makes a great wedding or Christening gift or a present for a collector.

Irish silver being more scarce than English silver is very sought after and collectable on its own.

This spoon is heavy in weight and thick in gauge, and has very clear hallmarks. It is a great example at nearly 200 years old, in very good antique condition.
