It was listed by Artisan Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Artisan Antiques has dated these Antique Silver Spoons to the Victorian era.
The spoons were made to commemorate/celebrate the Salters Company, one of the twelve great livery companies of London, ranked 9th in order of precedence.
The pair are of excellent quality and gauge, made from a cast design, they are very heavy and have a quality feel in hand. The stem features a banner wrapped design with the motto "Sal Sapit Omnia" (salt savours all).
The bowls are gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which not only presents a wonderful aesthetic contrast but also prevents the silver from tarnishing from the salt.
A wonderful pair, whether it be for a collection, display or to use with a pair of fine salt cellars, a very apt, symbolic and ornate pair.
A full set of hallmarks are present on the bowls of both spoons.
