The Spoons are made using the private die of a Marquess. These beautiful serving spoons are silver gilt and have elongated shell bowls. The stems are beautifully shaped with a thread scroll border and terminate at the top with a detailed casting of the Coronet of a Marquess. This is all above an engraved contemporary mirror cipher. The reverse of the bowl is also modelled to simulate a shell with foliate scroll work above. The Spoons are in excellent condition and are very well marked. This is the first time we have seen a serving piece incorporating in the design a Coronet of a Peer of the realm. George Adams was an exceptional maker of flatware and this is seen with these pieces.
Length: 9.6 inches, 24cm.
Width across the bowl: 2.25 inches, 5.63 cm.
Weight: 11oz, the pair.
