Item: Spoon Description: Trefid with decorated rattail Hallmark: London circa 1682 by 'NC' Dimensions: 196 mm long, 60g weight Comments: A very rare London-made, Charles II period, trefid with crisp decorated rattail. It bears a hallmarking oddity in that it is stamped twice with the lion passant and the date letter has been omitted (presumably the wrong punch was picked up at the assay office - a Friday afternoon job?). The hallmarks are all clear with an especially clear maker's mark. This is a distinctive conjoined script "NC" within a double circle. The spoon has a hefty weight and good feel to it. There is a set of contemporary to manufacture, engraved betrothal initials to the reverse terminal. This spoon was bought in partnership with a matching pair that is available separately at this link - MG/8827a Price: £925 Ref. No.: MG/8827b Payment options More item information |
