Burnell and Rowe

Description

Here we have a fine quality, heavyweight Set of Six late Victorian Sterling Silver Coffee Spoons in the distinctive Onslow pattern. The spoons have the Onslow scroll at the tops of the stems, a barley twist on the lower parts of the stems and shell bowls. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The coffee spoons were made in London by renowned silversmiths William Hutton & Sons and date to 1899. William Hutton established the firm in Birmingham in 1800 but in 1832 he transferred the entire business to Sheffield. Several generations of the Hutton family followed in the business and additional manufacturing was set up in London and back in Birmingham as well as a showroom in London’s Holborn district. The firm was taken over by James Dixon & Sons in 1930.

Condition is extremely good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be anticipated after over 125 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

Each spoon is 10.8cm / 4.25ins long and the set of six together weighs in at a very respectable 76.1g / 2.68oz 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 d for 1899 and the distinctive W H & Ss Ld makers' mark for William Hutton & Sons Ltd.

Shipping in the UK is £13.00 by Royal Mail Special Delivery, which includes cover for the value of the spoons.
