Condition report: In overall very good condition for their two hundred year age, there are age related surface scratches to the bowls some of which are slightly more prominent, which I have tried to capture in the photos, but this sort of wear is normal considering their age. One spoon has a slight distortion within the bowl, which is hard to capture within the photos, this has created a small rippling effect within the bowl and slightly affected the shape of the outer bowl on the exterior creating a slight flattening of the silver. The sides and end of the bowls on both spoons still have a refined and sharp shape, which shows they are in good condition and have been well looked after - worse examples the edges would be blunt, but this isn't the case for these spoons a fine example indeed!

These splendid pair of Regency spoons would make an excellent Christmas or Birthday present or a treat for yourself over lock-down. The fact that these spoons are a pair and are in such fine condition and have the iconic fiddle pattern make them rare, collectable and just delightful antiques to own and treasure. A beautiful example of Regency silver.
