Antique Georgian Silver Apple Corer

18th century
Description

This is a wonderful example of a solid sterling silver apple corer, dating from the reign of George III.

The blade is clearly hallmarked for London 1797, with the maker's mark of Thomas Phipps & Edward Robinson.

It is a heavy and tactile item. There is slight movement in the green wooden handle, although it is well attached. There are also two cracks in the wood, possibly as a result of it drying out over the last 220-odd years.

Dimensions:

Length: 13.5cm

Complimentary gift wrapping is available on request.

Post and packaging are free within the UK. Overseas buyers please e-mail for postage costs and please note: Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.

The piece combines a polished curved silver scoop with visible British hallmarks, a turned green ferrule, and a tapered dark green stained bone handle finished with a rounded finial.

It provides a historical talking point for collectors of Georgian silver, integrating easily into existing antique displays or collections of period utensils.

FAQs

An antique silver apple corer is a specialised dining implement designed during the 18th and 19th centuries for preparing and eating fresh fruit at the table. These tools were popular in Georgian dining settings where fruit consumption was a refined social ritual.

Georgian apple corers were usually crafted with sterling silver scoops or blades, often featuring silver ferrules joined to handles made of carved bone, ivory, mother-of-pearl, or wood. Many handles were dyed green using copper salts, a distinctive aesthetic choice of the late 18th century.

Authentic pieces carry British hallmark stamps directly on the silver scoop, indicating the purity mark, maker mark, location mark, and date letter. Genuine Georgian silver corers display hand-raised metalwork, characteristic joinery at the ferrule, and subtle signs of age appropriate to 18th- or early 19th-century manufacturing techniques.

This compact collectable piece can be displayed on a sideboard top inside a glazed display cabinet or arranged alongside other vintage kitchenalia on open shelving. Its distinct green handle and polished silver finish add historical texture to modern dining rooms or butler pantries.

Clean silver sections gently using a soft microfibre cloth and a specialised silver polish, avoiding contact between polish and the stained handle. Store the item in a low-humidity environment to prevent tarnishing, and never submerge organic handles in water.
