George IV Silver Dessert Spoon, Rich. Britton 1829
This is a good quality George IV Sterling Silver Dessert Spoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. The spoon has an intriguing stamp of a letter M or W on both the upper and under sides of the top of the stem. An individual in this late Georgian period would have had an initial or initials, or if entitled a crest, elegantly engraved at the top of the stem on the upper side. This stamped M or W is very unusual and probably represents an organisation, possibly a government department or perhaps a military connection.
The spoon is made in London by silversmith Richard Britton and dates to 1829. Richard Britton was apprenticed to John Hutson and then registered his own mark at Goldsmiths Hall in 1812. He was a specialist spoon maker and remained in business until the late 1840s.
Condition is good with just one tiny ding in the bowl plus the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 190 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The dessert spoon is 17.3cm / 6.8ins long and weighs in at a very respectable 37.8g / 1.3oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are a little rubbed but still clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter o for 1829, the George IV duty mark and the R.B makers' mark for Richard Britton.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
