The Spoons are modelled in the Old English Bead Pattern, however the top of the stem is very unusually engraved with a full Armorial, with Crest above and a crossed branch cartouche below.  The spoons are in excellent condition and are well marked on the reverse with the maker's mark and sterling mark.  Beaded tea spoons are rare, especially engraved with a full Armorial.

Length: 4.9 inches.
