Art Nouveau Silver Teaspoon, Charles Horner, 1906
This is a beautiful Art Nouveau Sterling Silver Teaspoon with a gilt bowl from the Edwardian era. The stem has a barley twist on the lower part and is topped by an openwork finial featuring two amber coloured thistles made from an early form of plastic.
The teaspoon was made by Charles Horner and assayed in Chester in 1906. The firm was based in Halifax, which had no assay office, so virtually all their silver and antique jewellery was hallmarked in Chester. Charles Horner established his firm in Halifax in the 1860s. They made exquisite jewellery and decorative silver items primarily for personal use and were at the height of their creativity during the Art Nouveau period. They were also prolific manufacturers of thimbles, both in solid silver and their own patented Dorcas thimbles, that were silver overlaid onto steel. The firm ceased trading in 1984.
Condition is very good, with no dings, dents or damage and just a little rubbing to the gilding on the back of the bowl. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 11.5cm / 4.5ins long and weighs in at 11.5g / 0.4oz of solid Sterling Silver, with just a tiny amount of that being the weight of the thistle heads.
The hallmarks, on the underside of the stem, are well struck and clear to read. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the sword and 3 wheatsheaves assay mark for Chester, the date letter F for 1906 and the C.H makers' mark for Charles Horner.
Shipping in the UK is £4.50 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
