1868 Chawner & Co (George William Adams) of London Set of Three Heavy Sterling Tablespoons, Shell and Thread (311 grams)

$1,600.00
Superb and perfectly matched set of three heavy Victorian sterling silver tablespoons, all hallmarked for London, 1868, and made by the esteemed firm Chawner & Co. (George William Adams) — the premier flatware maker of the 19th century. Each spoon is executed in the classic Shell and Thread pattern, a design much admired for its refined Regency elegance and enduring appeal. The bowls are generous and well-shaped, showing the high standard of Chawner’s craftsmanship, while the edges retain crisp detailing throughout. Together, the three pieces weigh an impressive 311 grams, with each measuring approximately 8.75 inches (22.2 cm) in length. Notably, the spoons bear fascinating tally or workman’s marks on the undersides — a charming feature that speaks to the internal workshop tracking practices of the period. The set remains unmonogrammed, offering a clean appearance. Condition is very good, with only light, even wear consistent with careful use and age. The hallmarks are clear and deeply struck on all three spoons, and the silver has developed a pleasing antique patina. Chawner & Co. was the preeminent English flatware maker of the 19th century, supplying many of London’s finest retailers and setting the standard for craftsmanship and design. This handsome trio exemplifies that legacy — substantial in weight, balanced in hand, and beautifully preserved.
