Description

A very rare late 18th century silver apple corer with reeded detailing. The handle is a very well matched period replacement with similar reeding and flared fluting down the stem. The corer is hallmarked with the King's head and lion passant and the maker's mark is a bit rubbed but appears to be that of the short lived partnership of Richard Carter, Daniel Smith & Robert Sharp, c.1778/1779. The handle has maker's initials R.T, lion passant and date mark for 1803.

It measures 15.2cm (6") long and weighs 42g / 1.3ozt.

In excellent condition. As mentioned there is some rubbing to the marks inside the corer and a couple of very minor dings to the handle.

FAQs

Georgian silver apple corers emerged in the 18th century as specialized dining implements used by the affluent classes to core fruit cleanly at the table.

These items were typically forged from sterling silver using hand-beating, tubular rolling, and incised or reeded decorative techniques before being hallmarked.

Authentic pieces bear period hallmarks indicating the makers mark, standard mark, town mark, and date letter corresponding to the late 18th century.

It can be displayed within a glass-fronted cabinet, on a silver display tray, or mounted within a shadow box to highlight its historical craftsmanship.

Preservation requires storing the object in a tarnish-resistant cloth, avoiding harsh chemical dips, and cleaning only with a soft microfiber cloth and specialized silver polish when necessary.
