TWO EDWARDIAN GOLDSMITHS & SILVERSMITHS COMPANY LTD, REGENT STREET, LONDON HALLMARKED SILVER SERVING STYLE SPOONS IN FITTED CASE
WITH CADUCEUS STYLE FINIALS
These spoons measure around 20.7cm / 8 3/16" long (approx) and have a total / combined weight of around 132g (approx). The bowls measure 6.6cm / 2 5/8" in direction of handle and 5.5cm / 2 3/16" wide (approx - measurement taken across the bowl of the spoon). They are stamped on the back with the maker's / sponsor's mark of ' G&S CO. LTD. ' (similar marks relate to Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co Ltd ) ), a lion passant, a leopard's head (London) and a lower case 'n' (c1908). The bowls of the spoons and the finials have a slight gilt tone to them, but this appears to have faded somewhat with age / use. They are each decorated with a Caduceus style finial.
I
have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item
better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has
different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any
further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to
help. The scales, ruler and cotton reel are not part of the listing, but
there just to give an idea as to size / weight / perspective.
Condition: These spoons are in antique / used condition with wear / rubbing (including to the hallmarks on the back), knocks, stubborn marks, discolouration and scratches, commensurate with age related use. The case is in a slightly distressed state, with some significant wear, splits, surface covering loss in places, scratches, scuffs and marks. The spoons would probably benefit from appropriate cleaning, but I will leave that decision to their new owner. I have taken a number of photos which, in addition to forming part of the description, are there to allow potential bidders the opportunity to make their own assessment.
These spoons are in antique / used condition, so please take time to read the condition
description / Seller Notes above, in addition to viewing the images,
before bidding. Thank you.
Please feel
free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay.
Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious
emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay.
I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will
normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to
reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.
