Queen Anne Rattail Dognose Silver Initialled Spoon Lawrence Coles London 1705
About the Item
This exquisite Queen Anne Britannia standard silver spoon, crafted by Lawrence Coles in London in 1705, is a remarkable piece of early 18th-century English silverware. Weighing 54 grams, the spoon exemplifies the high-quality craftsmanship of the period, made from Britannia standard silver, which boasts a higher purity (95.84%) than the later sterling standard.
The spoon features a "rattail" design, characterized by a pronounced ridge on the back of the bowl for added strength, and a "dognose" handle, with its distinctive rounded and slightly upturned end. These elements combine functionality with the elegant aesthetics typical of the Queen Anne era.
The contemporary prick dot initials on the handle add a personal touch, hinting at its original ownership or significance. As a piece crafted by Lawrence Coles, a noted silversmith of the time, this spoon stands as both a functional object and a historical artifact, reflecting the artistry and cultural values of its era. Its elegant design and historical significance make it a prized item for collectors of antique silver.
