History

Thomas Sewell worked as an apprentice under Thomas Watson in 1818. Whatson was one of Newcastle's most reputed silversmiths. Sewell's silver sponsor mark was first registered on the 20th January 1846, so this spoons is one of his earlier pieces.

The Newcastle Assay office was officially opened in 1702 (although silver was made there before this date) and closed in 1884, so this spoon is even more rare and precious as one has not been able to buy Newcastle assayed silver for 116 years and is thus very collectible.

This is a rare provincial spoon with a beautiful arch shape with fiddle pattern terminus, gracefully blends sophisticated curves and lines demonstrating superb craftsmanship. This fabulous Victorian spoon would make a welcome addition to a collector of rare provincial silver collection.
