About the Item

This antique trifid spoon, crafted in 1688 by the renowned silversmith Thomas Issoa in London, is a splendid example of late 17th-century English silverware. The trifid spoon is named for its distinctive three-lobed or "trifid" design at the end of the handle, a style that was popular during the Restoration period. Weighing 45.6 grams, the spoon is made from solid silver, highlighting the quality and durability typical of the era's craftsmanship. The spoon's hallmark would typically include the maker's mark, London assay marks, and the date letter, providing authenticity and historical context to this exquisite piece. Thomas Issoa was a notable silversmith of his time, and his work is highly regarded for its elegance and precision. This spoon not only serves as a functional piece but also as a valuable artifact that reflects the artistic and social history of the late 17th century. Its preservation and continued existence offer insight into the dining customs and metalwork techniques of the time. Collectors and enthusiasts of antique silverware would find this trifid spoon particularly appealing due to its historical significance, craftsmanship, and the reputation of its maker. It stands as a testament to the artistry and skill of early English silversmiths, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
