Future Additions
We will be continually updating and upgrading this website. If you have any suggestions of features that you would like to see, please let me know. A few current ideas under consideration:-
-
to provide a forum for anyone interested in antique silver spoons
-
to provide links to all web-sites with an interest for the spoon collector
-
latest news - interesting developments, latest auction reports etc.
-
profiles of personal collections
We would warmly welcome any articles relating to spoon collecting, and hope to develop this site into a focal point for collectors all over the world.
The website includes spoons from the Tudor period, through the 17th, 18th, and 19th Centuries and into the 20th Century. It does not include souvenir spoons, spoons made from any other material than silver (with one or two interesting exceptions) nor the "run-of-the-mill" mass produced items with no collectable qualities.
