Marrow Spoons (pair) - Shell-back - London 1774 by William Chatterton - 230mm long; 113g - OC/3420

Sorry, this item is out of stock.

These are a truly outstanding pair of Georgian silver marrow scoops. They are unbeatable in everyway and a particularly rare feature is that they are a pair! The fancy back shells to the reverse of the spoon bowl are especially crisp and the slender scoops are engraved with the script initials of the original owner. The quality is excellent and the condition is stunning with thick bowl and scoop rims and a fine patina.
