Antique Silver

 

Item: Spoon Description: Slip-top Hallmark: London 1586 by Patrick Brue Dimensions: 158mm long; 35 grams 

Comments: A fine example of an Elizabethan slip top spoon by one of the most important spoon makers of the period. This slip spoon has a very good set of hallmarks and in typical slip top fashion the date letter is located towards the stem end (to prevent the addition of a seal or apostle terminal by rogue spoonmakers). 

The spoon is in good order with some minor pitting (possibly from burial) around the edge of the bowl. The bowl retains most of its’ original shape although the leading edge has some very minor wear The maker's mark is a mullet over annulet" which has been attributed to Patrick Brue by Piers Percival.
