Description

These are a lovely quality pair of Victorian dessert serving spoons with scallop shell shaped bowl and ornate cast stems mounted with an apostle, well detailed all around.

Gilt stringing to a tooled band around the top of the case finishes it off. Hallmarked for Sheffield 1876, makers Richard Martin & Ebeneezer Hall (Martin, Hall & Co).
