1794 John Shields Dublin Irish Sterling Silver Skewer, Elegant Georgian Form (70 g) LRC

$650.00
A fine Georgian Dublin sterling silver skewer made in 1794 by the respected Irish silversmith John Shields. This elegant example reflects the refined simplicity of late 18th-century Irish serving pieces, with a slender, well-balanced form designed for use at the Georgian dining table. Silver skewers were practical yet prestigious accessories used for securing and serving roasted meats, often appearing alongside other specialized serving implements in prosperous households. Measuring 9.5 inches in length and weighing a substantial 70 grams, this example has excellent gauge and a pleasing presence in the hand. It remains in very good antique condition with an attractive mellow patina and light wear consistent with over two centuries of careful use. A wonderful addition to a collection of Irish silver, Georgian flatware, or historic serving pieces. Dimensions: 9.5" in length. Weight is about 70 grams.
