William IV Silver Dessert Spoon, Exeter, 1833
This is a good quality William IV Sterling Silver Dessert Spoon in the traditional Fiddle pattern. There are no initials or personalisation of any kind.
The spoon was made by silversmith William Woodman and assayed in Exeter in 1833. William Woodman was a Bristol silversmith who was in business between 1818 and 1838 and possibly a little earlier. Because Bristol didn’t have its own assay office, his work is all hallmarked in Exeter, the office for the south west of England until its closure in 1883. Woodman was a specialist spoon maker who occasionally produced other pieces but these are very rare. After his retirement in the late 1830s, his business was taken over by Robert Williams and would evolve into Josiah Williams & Co.
Condition is very good, with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would expect after over 190 years of use. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The dessert spoon is 16.9cm / 6.6ins long and weighs in at a respectable 29.9g / 1.05oz 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 three towered wall assay mark for Exeter, the date letter r for 1833, the George IV duty mark (the William IV mark didn't appear on Exeter silver until 1834) and the W W makers' mark for William Woodman.
