This Victorian English silver plated tableware accessory dates to 1880 and measures 8.9 cm high, 6.4 cm wide, and 26.7 cm deep. The piece comprises an engraved metal spoon rest featuring a cast winged cherub figure terminating the handle, a pierced scrollwork bowl, and detailed foliage engraving across the surface. Three seated reading cherub figures support the bowl above five small bun feet, while a removable drainer sits inside the fluted bowl. The underside bears a detailed maker's mark shield alongside a unique number. Placed upon a dining room sideboard top, the object serves as a decorative holder to catch drips from a large serving spoon during meals.

FAQs

Designed during the nineteenth century, silver-plated spoon rests were created to protect fine linen tablecloths from grease and liquid stains during formal dining service.

These items were typically constructed from a base metal, such as nickel silver or copper, electroplated with a thin layer of pure silver, and decorated with die-stamped, cast, or hand-engraved details.

Authentic Victorian pieces often feature maker marks, EPNS (Electroplated Nickel Silver) stamps, or Victorian registry marks, alongside period hand-engraving and visible solder joints from casting assembly.

While traditionally used on dining tables, these decorative metalware objects can be repurposed on kitchen counter tops as functional utensil rests, or placed on vanity tables to store small jewellery.

Clean silver plate gently using a soft cloth and a non-abrasive silver polish, avoiding harsh liquid dips that can strip the delicate silver layer or erase natural oxidisation in low-relief recesses.
