George III Silver Salt Spoon, Royes & Dix, 1819
This is a George III Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the classic Fiddle pattern. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The spoon is made in London by Solomon Royes & John East Dix and dates to 1819. Royes & Dix initially formed a partnership with the renowned silversmith Solomon Hougham at the end of his career in 1817, this seems to have lasted just a year before Royes & Dix set up on their own in 1818 and only a year or so after that Solomon Royes registered his own mark and John Dix disappears from the record, making Royes & Dix silver flatware really quite rare.
Condition is good with just a couple of tiny dings in the bowl. There is no salt corrosion and just the superficial surface wear that has to be expected after 200 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The hallmarks on the underside of the stem are clear to read with the exception of the makers' mark which is partially rubbed but still decipherable. They show the lion passant for Sterling Silver, the London date letter d for 1819 and the George III duty mark. The makers' mark is SR over IED for Solomon Royes & John East Dix. The SR is largely rubbed away but the IED is clear to read and identifies the overall mark.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
