An Outstanding Duo of Irish Georgian Silver Basting/straining Spoons

An outstanding and very rare duo of Irish silver servers. These handsome and practical pieces are in fiddle pattern and date from the early 19th Century. To the top of each shank is a handsome engraved armorial and the bowl of the straining spoon has a large pierced divider

Flatware is rather scarce nowadays due to the great losses, caused by the unscrupulous melting of antique silver for scrap. Therefore a rare duo such as these and from this early in the 19th Century, is a good find. Dimensions below.
