Victorian Silver Shell Spoon Warmers

About the Item

19th century Victorian silver plate spoon warmers in the shape of nautilus shells resting on a bed of sea rocks ending with an ornate shell design. Originally the lids opened up to dip the spoons into hot water with the exception of one that is a fixed lid. They vary from ornate ferns to clovers or graphic lines that conform to the shape of the warmer. Some warmers are signed or have reg numbers and are attributed to Sheffield or Mappin and Webb. Each varies slightly in size. Today, they make fabulous vases or centerpieces.

Renowned for combining timeless craftsmanship with superior quality and contemporary design, we have produced exquisite fine jewellery, elegant silverware, watches, glassware and the unique lifestyle accessories that have long been at the heart of affluent British society. It’s a story that began in 1775, when Jonathan Mappin opened a workshop in Sheffield. His mission was to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for British society. Over the immediate years that followed this would see the company expand internationally, receive Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and become synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things truly British.
