George III Silver Salt Spoon, Solomon Hougham 1806
This is a smart George III Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the Old English Beaded pattern. The bowl of the spoon is gilded to resist salt corrosion and there is a rather regal crest of a lion holding a fleur-de-lys engraved at the top of the stem.
The salt spoon is made in London by celebrated silversmith Solomon Hougham and dates to 1806. Solomon's elder brother Charles started the family business in 1769 with Solomon taking over after Charles' death in 1793 and continuing up until around 1820. The brothers are best known for their high quality flatware although they did occasionally make other pieces as well.
Condition is very good with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after over 215 years of good service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 9.7cm / 3.8ins long and weighs a respectable 10.5g / 0.37oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the London date letter L, the George III duty mark and the SH makers' mark for Solomon Hougham. As was commonplace at this time, the makers' mark is struck the opposite way up to the other hallmarks.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
