Antique Georgian Solid Silver Gilt Grape Shears/Scissors with Magnificent Vines
About the Item
We are delighted to offer this spectacular Georgian solid silver grape scissors/shears made in London in 1830 with the marks of Jonathan Hayne.
Fitted and remaining together with its original case, this magnificent pair presents some of the finest and most desirable features of fine Georgian silversmithing.
The entire surface is silver gilt, immediately elevating its splendour upon a quick glance. With further inspection of the details, its intricacy, design and craftsmanship can be truly appreciated.
The handles both feature a wonderful cast vine design with large foliate and grape motifs in between to accent and appropriately match its intended use. The finely stippled handles and joints between each motif are of a naturalistic and lifelike stem design.
The reverse side is equally matched and embellished - a sign that no costs have been cut in the making of this quality piece.
Whilst this pair would make for a wonderful addition to a dining interior decor purely for display purposes, such shears/scissors can still be practically used today to opulently separate large bunches of grapes.
Whilst impressive in its own right, this pair would most certainly complement other fine antiques and can be truly appreciated upon use in a fine dining setting.
A set of English hallmarks are present on the inner sides of the blades of the scissors.

Antique Solid Silver Georgian Asparagus Tongs, Leveson-Gower/Sutherland Crest
By William Eley & William Fearn
Located in London, GB
We are delighted to have acquired and be able to offer this pair of solid silver Georgian asparagus tongs made by William Eley & William Fearn in London, 1820.
The tongs feature a wonderful classical style with the terminals of the handles presenting a scalloped design and the entire edge accented by a contrasting border formed by two fine lines.
A noteworthy crest is present on the end of the handle with it bearing the crest of Leveson-Gower ('wolf statant collared and chained') and the other crest for the Sutherland Clan, described as a 'cat-a-mountain salient'.
The tongs were eventually discovered at Dunrobin Castle which is situated in Sutherland (Highland area of Scottland), and was/is a very ornate and extravagant castle that is still standing today.
During the period this piece was made, the 1st Duke of Sutherland, George Granville Leveson-Gower owned extensive land which eventually resulted in him being one of the wealthiest individuals in Britain to such an extent that titles and speculation such as "The Leviathan...

Antique Victorian Solid Silver Gilt Naturalistic Leaf Spoon Pair, 1842
By Sebastian Crespel II
Located in London, GB
We are delighted to offer this fine and exquisite pair of early Victorian solid silver tea spoons made in London 1842 with the maker's mark of Sebastian Crespell.
The pair features a highly ornate and desirable 'naturalistic' design with the entirety of the spoon-shaped as a leaf and branch.
Intricate engravings on the leaf bowls and the realistic form of the stem/branch indicate a high level of craftsmanship and artistry by the silversmith. Upon close inspection, the asymmetric and naturally flowing design is further apparent and is a delightful touch.
Not only are these spoons practical for a wide variety of uses from tea to desserts, but are a modest yet discerning addition to any collection or interior decor for a sophisticated and nature-inspired look.
The pair is gilded with a yellowish/lemon hue that has been worn and patinated in a very attractive colour/tone.
A full set of English hallmarks are present on the reverse side of the bowl.
