Description

This is a good quality pair of Victorian Sterling Silver Salt Spoons in the traditional Fiddle pattern. The spoons have no initials or personalisation of any kind.

The spoons are made in London by Charles Boyton (II) and date to 1858. The Boyton family (virtually all called Charles) were renowned London silversmiths between 1825 and 1948, with this pair of salt spoons being made by the son of the founder, generally referred to as Charles Boyton (II). The family made a wide range of silver items, which were always of high quality.

Condition of the spoons is very good with no dings or dents and just the superficial surface wear that you would anticipate after
over 160 years of good service. One of the stems is a little more arched than the other but this could easily be straightened if you wished to. Please make sure to view all the photographs.

The salt spoons are each 10.2cm / 4ins long and the pair together weigh a very respectable 22.4g / 0.8oz of solid Sterling Silver.

The hallmarks on the underside of the stems 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 c for 1858, the Queen Victoria duty mark and the CB makers' mark for Charles Boyton (II).
