Set of 4 Georgian Solid Silver Skewers

18th century
Description

It's a wonder to find this set of solid sterling silver skewers complete, dating, as they do, from the beginning of the reign of George IV.

All four are clearly hallmarked for London 1826 with the maker's mark for William Chawner II. They feature plain hooped finials, free of initials.

Two are 15cm in length, one is 16.5cm and the largest is 19cm long. The total silver weight is 63g.

Well used, as you would expect, and a wonderful piece of history.

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

This set of four Georgian solid sterling silver skewers dates from the beginning of the reign of George IV. Each piece displays a bright silver finish with smooth metallic surfaces, plain hooped finials free of initials, and stamped British hallmarks along the tapered upper blades. The set includes pieces of varying dimensions, with the largest measuring 19 cm high. The silver displays visible surface wear from age and use. These tableware items find a practical home on a sideboard top, where they add period character to a dining room setting. They integrate easily into traditional table displays and serve as authentic examples of early nineteenth-century British silver craftsmanship.

FAQs

Georgian silver skewers were culinary tools designed to secure joints of meat or poultry during roasting and carving, allowing servers to handle hot food cleanly at the dining table.

They were hand-forged from sterling silver, featuring a long, flattened, tapered blade designed to pass through meat smoothly, topped with a ring or decorative terminal for easy handling.

Authentic pieces display official British hallmarks stamped along the upper blade, including the lion passant standard mark, makers initials, town mark, and a date letter corresponding to the Georgian era.

They can be displayed horizontally on a dining sideboard, showcased inside a framed shadow box, or placed on an office desk to serve as elegant letter openers.

Clean them using warm water and a mild detergent, followed by gentle hand polishing with a specialized silver cloth to remove tarnish without wearing down historical hallmarks.
