Silver Sugar Sifter Mary Chawner London 1834 Sterling Silver  Sugar Sifter Spoon
A solid and well executed sugar sifter made in London by silversmith Mary Chawner (1792-1870). The Chawner family business was established by her husband William in 1815 and produced high quality cutlery. Unfortunately in 1834 he passed away and Mary was forced to take on the business herself until her son was old enough. She registered her first mark at Goldsmiths Hall in the same year, 1834. Eventually the business was taken over by George Adams.

This sugar sifter is shaped like a ladle and made in a fiddle back design. The handle is straight throughout, with a curve section towards the top. This area is skilfully engraved with a lovely inital 'M' and a (family?) crest of a rising eagle. The bowl shows the skill of the silversmith with a decorative flower and foliage design. Made of sterling silver with clear hall marks that show the manufacturer's initials 'MC', lion passant mark, London town mark, and year mark 't'. A lovely detail is the confirmation that the tax was paid for the American War of Independence as the spoon handle is also stamped with the temporary duty mark of the monarch's head.

But what makes this particular antique sugar sifter so interesting to the collector is that it was produced in the same year that Mary Chawner took over her husband's firm. She registered her first hall mark on the 14th April 1834, so this antique ladle will have been part of the first production year with her new MC stamp.

We thank you very much for shopping with Rocco Antiques. Your support is very much appreciated, it means that we can continue to offer our customers a range of beautiful antiques and collectables.

We do our very best to describe our items with an accurate and detailed description. High quality photography accompanies all our listings. Due to the restrictions of this medium it is not always possible to represent the precise size, appearance or colours of a product fully.

The used and aged nature of antiques and vintage items means that it is not always possible to describe or photograph every imperfection, blemish, dent or scratch. The vast majority of our customers will know this and not expect to receive their antique in factory new condition. The worn look is a large part of the charm of buying old pieces after all.

We try to give the best information possible in our product descriptions. If known we provide details about the age, history, style, materials and of course the provenance of a piece. However Rocco Antiques cannot guarantee any of this information, it can only be given as a guide. By appointment we can provide the opportunity to view a piece in person.
