Antique Silver

 

 

Item: Salt Spoons (set of 6) Description: King's Husk Pattern Hallmark: London 1850 by George Adams Dimensions: 111mm long; 177g weight

Comments: An extremely rare set of 6 silver salt spoons in one of the most highly prized flatware patterns. The quality and condition are both outstanding. The decoration is super crisp and the bowl interiors are gilt to protect the silver from the corrosive effects of salt. Each spoon feels heavy and sturdy in the hand. 

To the reverse terminal is a gartered motto surmounted by a crown. The motto reads "Tria Juncta in Uno" which translates to "Three Joined in One" and is the motto of The Order of the Bath. The garter is engraved over the badge of the Order. The Order of the Bath is a British order of chivalry creating a knight of the realm. The original owner of these salt spoons would have been so honoured.

Ref.: JD/5484 Price: SOLD
