Quality Silver - Sensible Prices

Silver-mounted shells formed as caddy spoons are relatively scarce and the use of whelk shells is especially rare with few survivors.

This Georgian example was made by Matthew Linwood and bears his "ML" maker' mark. Dating from the first decade of the 19th century the spoon has a fiddle & thread handle and a secure mount to the shell. The ensemble works well as a spoon and is a particularly fine example of its genre. It is in fine condition with neither damage nor repair.

Please view our specialist site for a further large selection of fine quality Victorian, Georgian and earlier silver.

MEASUREMENTS: 7.2cm (2.8") long; 17 grams gross weight.

MARKS: Marked with ML maker's mark only (standard practice for items with a small amount of silver) for Birmingham circa 1805 by Matthew Linwood.

CONDITION: Excellent.

Please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions. Best wishes, Gary.
