George IV Irish Silver Salt Spoon, Thomas Farnett
This is a superb quality heavyweight George IV Irish Sterling Silver Salt Spoon in the elegant Queen's pattern with gilding to the bowl. A variation on the more common King's pattern, Queen's has a distinctive flower or rosette where the hourglass finial joins the stem. This spice ladle has a crest of a tree inside a belt or garter with a motto, which sadly we cannot make out. A letter F is elegantly engraved on the underside.
This salt spoon is a very well made item in a heavy gauge of silver. It is from Dublin, dated 1829 and was made by Thomas Farnett. Farnett was a specialist spoon maker who was active between around 1810 and 1835 and was clearly a very accomplished silversmith.
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. There is some wear to the gold plating inside the bowl. Please make sure to view all the photographs.
The salt spoon is 10.3cm / 4.1ins long and weighs in at a very substantial 28.3g / 1oz of solid Sterling Silver.
The hallmarks on the underside of the stem are slightly distorted by the thread patterning but still clear to read. They show the crowned harp for Irish Sterling Silver, the Hibernia assay mark for Dublin, the George IV duty mark, the date letter I for 1829 and the TF makers' mark for Thomas Farnett.
Shipping in the UK is £4 by Royal Mail 1st Class Signed For.
