2 Victorian Silver Salt Spoons, Chawner & Co, 1880 Victorian  Silver Salt Spoon %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
This is a fine pair of heavy Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoons in the Fiddle, Thread & Shell pattern. The spoons are double struck, ie. they have the pattern on both top and bottom, and they have the initials J S S or J F S elegantly engraved at the top of the stem.

The salt spoons were made in London by celebrated silversmiths Chawner & Co and date to 1880. Chawner & Co is considered to be the most important flatware manufacturer in London in the 19th century and they participated in the Great Exhibition in 1851. The company was founded by William Chawner in 1815 after he left his partnership with William Eley and William Fearn. He was succeeded by his widow Mary and later by his son-in-law George Adams. The firm was finally sold to Holland, Aldwinckle & Slater in 1883.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings, dents or salt corrosion and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 140 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

Each spoon is 11cm / 4.3ins long and the pair together weigh in at a very respectable 47.6g / 1.7oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks, on the undersides of the stems, are nice and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter E for 1880, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the G A makers' mark for George Adams, who was head of Chawner & Co at that time.
