Offered for sale is a genuine antique Georgian sterling silver large serving spoon, hallmarked in London circa 1810.
This piece bears a full and legible set of British sterling hallmarks, including the lion passant confirming .925 sterling silver, the London leopard’s head assay mark, a date letter “O”, and the George III duty mark, indicating silver tax paid. Together, these hallmarks firmly date the spoon to the early 19th century Georgian period.
The spoon features a classic Old English pattern with shell terminal, a timeless and highly desirable English design. At approximately 9 inches in length and weighing a substantial 95 grams, this is larger and heavier than a standard tablespoon, properly classified as a large serving spoon / table serving spoon.
