Lot Description

Victorian silver christening set comprising a spoon and fork, each with engraved monogram to the circular terminal with foliate and figurative detail (visible alterations at the base of each handle), spoon bowl and fork are hallmarked Henry Wilkinson & Co., Sheffield 1856;  together with a late Victorian silver napkin ring decorated with a continuous band of alternating lobed and foliate scroll motifs, hallmarked Rolason Brothers, Birmingham 1897, all in a fitted case.  Gross combined weight 2.9 ozt (90.4 grams).

Postage: Auction Default

Weight: No

Total lot weight: No

All three pieces display general wear, some tarnishing and surface marks and scratches.  It is likely that the handles are not original to the spoon bowl and fork sections as alterations are evident at the joins.  There are floods and areas of solder, loss of detail to decoration on both sides and seam lines are visible.  In addition the hallmarks are struck to the spoon bowl and fork section only.  The spoon bowl has faired quite well with just a little bit more wear towards the tip.  Fork prongs are a little bent and ground down a little on the tips.  The napkin ring displays some knocks to the rims, so that it is a little misshapen.  The seam line is visible.  Hallmarks are all legible.
