About the Item

They was created in London England at the atelier of the silversmith Thomas Wilkes Barker in the 1825. Carefully crafted during the period of the king George IV (1820-1830) in solid .925/.999 sterling silver with 24 karats gildind. Made in the repousse technique depicting fruits such, cherries, pears and apricots. The spoon handles are finished with incised and chiseled patterns. Weight: 118.40 Grams, (75.90 Dwt).

Thomas Wilkes Barker Was the son of Christopher Barker, located in Pemberton Row in Gough Square in London. Christopher leaves no record of his apprenticeship or obtaining of his freedom but his son was apprenticed to William Fearn of the famous Chawner company. Father & son entered their mark as partners on 11th October 1800, a partnership that appears to have lasted until 7th February 1805 when Thomas Barker entered a mark on his own. This seems quite a short space of time - just over 4 years. The first Mark entered in partnership with his father as spoon-makers, 11 October 1800. Address: 9 Cross Street, Hatton Garden. Second mark, on moving to Kirby Street, Hatton Garden, 8 December 1804. Third Mark alone, 7 February 1805, same address. Fourth mark (two sizes) 17 July 1811. Fifth mark ( two sizes) 1 December 1819 and later. Georgian Period (circa 1714-1840). The term Georgian refers to an era in English history during the reign of King George I to King George IV from 1714-1840. Like the term Victorian (used for jewelry during Queen Victoria's rule), it is accepted in use as a term that refers to certain styles of jewelry. Pearls, sapphires, rubies and garnets were widely used in Georgian jewellery, often cut in the shape of a cabochon or teardrop. Rubies and pearls were a fashionable combination at the time. Some of our collection of Georgian gemstone rings. Popular cuts for diamonds included 'rose cut', 'old mine cut' and 'table cut. Collateral: They are accompanied by the antique presentation wood box. The box is 200 years old and is not in great shape. Condition: The overall condition of this pair is exceptional. Beside the little normal wear, there is no damage to the gold or the silver. This piece has been carefully inspected to guarantee the condition and authenticity. INVENTORY REF: D051423MENG/3.510.
