About the Item
We are delighted to offer this wonderful cased pair of solid silver spoons with marks for Smith, Nicholson & Co, London 1858.
Distinct and unique upon first glance, the pair feature a very ornate and decorative design with a Rococo-style shell bowl and terminals with a coat of arms. The spoons were made to commemorate/celebrate the Salters Company, one of the twelve great livery companies of London, ranked 9th in order of precedence.
The pair are of excellent quality and gauge, made from a cast design, they are very heavy and have a quality feel in hand. The stem features a banner wrapped design with the motto "Sal Sapit Omnia" (salt savours all).
The bowls are gilt (gold on top of solid silver) which not only presents a wonderful aesthetic contrast but also prevents the silver from tarnishing from the salt.
A wonderful pair, whether it be for a collection, display or to use with a pair of fine salt cellars, a very apt, symbolic and ornate pair.
A full set of hallmarks are present on the bowls of both spoons.

View AllAntique 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.
