Antique Silver Spoons

 

 

Item:  Seal-top Spoon Hallmark: London 1618 by William Lovejoy Dimensions: 170mm long, 45g weight

Comments: Excellent spoon in fine condition. Completely unworn fig-shaped bowl with thick lip to rim. Contemporary dot-pricked initials to seal terminal. Good example of the "crescent enclosing a mullet" mark as described in "London Silver Spoonmakers 1500-1697" by Tim Kent. Recent research (Piers Percival in The Finial July 2004) makes a strong claim for this mark to belong to William Lovejoy  a known spoonmaker of the period.

Price: SOLD
