Rare Set of Five Silver Fiddle, Thread & Shell Dessert Spoons.

A rare set of five William IV silver dessert spoons in one of the most sought after patterns, fiddle, thread & shell. These handsome examples are double struck (pattern front and back) and have the early 'union shell' heel to the back of the bowl. This pattern is amongst the most desirable of all flatware patterns and is now very scarce.

Condition :- Very good, with no dents or splits. Bowl tips are very goo. There is some fading to the shells on the reverse of the bowl, commensurate with age and use.

Hallmarks :- Clear, matching and readable.

Maker :- John Beebe.

Date :- London 1831.

Length :- 18 cms.
