The business was active between 1815 -1883.

This spoon was designed and made by George W Adams, who married Mary Ann Chawner. The Chawner family remain one of the most iconic, celebrated and world famous family of silversmiths, making specifically spoons and other flatware inventing patterns that became established patterns in the Victorian era.

Condition report:
The usual surface scratches and light tarnish marks consistent with age and the odd deeper micro scratch on the handle and under the bowl and the tip of the handle is ever so slightly misshapen, overall it is in very good condition for its over 130 year age. There is an armorial crest on the terminal of the handle which is possibly for the McLaren or MacGregor family. Please examine the photos carefully as this forms part of the condition report.

This is a beautiful and rare Chawner spoon that will grace your silver flatware collection with grace, quality, elegance and style.
