William IV Silver Teaspoon, Mary Chawner, 1834
Here we have a top quality William IV Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
Although based on an original Roman design (there's one in the Esquiline Treasure in the British Museum), it didn't really start to appear in England until the second half of the 18th century and became the dominant design in the 19th century.
This spoon is made in a good gauge of silver by Mary Chawner in London and dates to 1834. Mary was the widow of William Chawner, one of the most important spoon makers of the early 19th century. When William died in 1834, Mary took over the business and ran it until 1840 when her son-in-law George Adams took over. The Chawner family story was that William married Mary because she was a better spoon maker than he was and certainly spoons with her mark are extremely well made.
Condition is very good with no dings or dents and only the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after over 185 years of service. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The teaspoon is 14.2cm / 5.5" long and weighs a very respectable 24.6g / 0.87oz 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 leopard's head assay mark for London, the date letter "t" for 1834, the William IV duty mark and the MC makers' mark for Mary Chawner.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
