This is an eighteenth-century Queen Anne silver dognose spoon made in London in 1702 by John Smith. The piece displays a bright silver colour with a hand-hammered stem, an oval bowl featuring a rat-tail join on the reverse, and two sets of period engraved initials on the handle reading L over MS and R over WR, alongside crisp hallmarks. The object has a length of 20 cm and a weight of 60 grams. In a modern home, this piece fits well displayed upon a sideboard top as part of an English country house collection or historical tableware display. It adds authentic early Georgian character to any flatware cabinet or antique arrangement, serving as a functional or decorative element for admirers of early British silver.

FAQs

Queen Anne dognose spoons, produced in the early 18th century, feature a distinctive wavy terminal at the end of the handle and an oval bowl reinforced with a decorative rat-tail joint on the reverse.

Spoons from this period were wrought by hand from high-purity silver, frequently Britannia standard silver at 95.8% purity, which was compulsory in England between 1697 and 1720.

Authentic examples display period-correct hallmarks stamped along the stem, subtle hand-hammering marks, contemporaneous engraved owner initials, and classic rat-tail bowl supports.

Antique silver spoons can be displayed on felt-lined trays, arranged inside glazed cabinet drawers, or mounted within shadowbox frames as historical wall displays.

Silver flatware should be gently wiped with a non-abrasive silver polishing cloth, washed in warm soapy water, and dried thoroughly to control tarnish while protecting the historic surface patina.
