Antique Georgian Solid Silver Apple Corer 1808

18th century
Description

A wonderful example of an increasingly rare item. This apple corer dates from the reign of George III. It is clearly hallmarked for London 1808, with the maker's mark for Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson.

The turned, green-stained handle is a little loose. The attachments between the silver and handle are present and original but they wobble slightly. It is interesting that the hallmarks on this blade are on the outside, whereas the other corer I have for sale, by the same makers and from a similar period (1797) has the hallmarks on the inside of the blade.

The silver portion is 7.5cm long, and the entire corer, 13cm in length.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying.

This Georgian antique apple corer combines a sterling silver blade with a green-stained turned bone handle. British hallmarks are stamped on the outer surface of the curved silver scoop alongside maker's marks for Thomas Phipps and Edward Robinson. Double reeded collars and silver bands divide the handle from the blade. The handle exhibits a bulbous finial shape, visible gaps at the join with the metal mount, and a slightly loose attachment structure. Measurements for the piece are 13 cm high, 1.5 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. Items of this type function in a domestic setting as a decorative accessory displayed upon a sideboard top within a gentleman's library. The portable design fits easily in the hand for fruit preparation tasks during dining or dessert service. Collectors of Georgian silver tableware utilise such utensils for display cabinets or traditional tablescapes.

FAQs

Apple corers were personal dining accessories popular during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, designed for individuals to carry and core fruit at the table or whilst travelling.

Georgian apple corers typically feature a sterling silver scoop fitted to a handle crafted from materials such as turned wood, bone, mother-of-pearl, or ivory, occasionally stained in contrasting shades.

Authentic pieces feature British silver hallmarks stamped directly onto the silver scoop, including the duty mark, assay town mark, date letter, and makers mark.

These small silver implements are often displayed inside glass cabinet vitrines, arranged on a tray on a sideboard top, or mounted on custom stands as decorative historic curiosities.

Clean the silver section using a dry microfibre cloth and gentle silver polish, avoiding immersion in water to protect the organic handle material and internal pin attachments from moisture damage.
