London 1733 Very Early 18th Century George II Period Fine Solid Silver Marrow Scoop.

18th century
Description

London 1733 English hallmarked solid silver early Georgian marrow scoop in very good condition, made shortly after George II was crowned.

English sterling silver is very accurate to date due to their renowned hallmarking system.

The scoop is double ended, with a wider scoop at one end originally used for extracting marrow from large bones, and a narrower one at the other, for smaller bones.

It is still a useful piece for scooping marrow out, such as for Osso Bucco, and also of great interest to the collector of small silver.

An elegant present now also used today to scoop condiments out of tall jars, as a novelty drink mixer/swizzle stick, or for serving thick sauces.

Size-8.5 inches long.

Weight- 50 grams.

A wonderful piece for the collector of interesting silver pieces, or of early 18th century silver.

A fine example, with deep and very clear hallmarks (only the makers mark is rubbed), and with great age at 290+ years old!

A fine piece of unusual yet still practical early 18th century silver.

FAQs

A Georgian silver marrow scoop is a specialized piece of dining flatware designed during the eighteenth century specifically for extracting marrow from cooked bones during formal meals.

Marrow scoops were predominantly hand-forged from sterling silver, hallmarked by silversmiths to verify metal purity, durability, and craftsmanship suitable for high-status dining tables.

Authentic pieces feature official British hallmarks stamped into the silver, including the monarch head, lion passant, city mark such as the London leopard, and a maker mark, alongside characteristic hand-hammered weight and dual narrow scoop channels.

These historical silver implements are typically displayed inside glazed dining room cabinets, arranged alongside other period tableware on a sideboard top, or mounted within framed collection cases.

Clean gently using a soft cloth and specialized non-abrasive silver polish to prevent scratching, and store in anti-tarnish cloth bags away from high humidity to avoid heavy oxidisation.
