Tea Tongs c.1760 - One mark

Hi all, I've tentatively put these Tea Tongs around 1760 and London. The pear shaped finger rings are unusual and there is a period initial on the hinge. There is only one mark on one of handles and I'm trying work out if it's: a) Partial Thomas Jackson I makers Mark (Extended mark with horse above ...

Re: Paris Table spoon 1783-1789

Hello I believe the maker of your spoon in the Filet or Thread pattern was Louis Julien Anthiaume, who registered his mark on 6 September 1779, initials LJA, symbol a royal baton (un bâton royal). Louis Julien was sponsored by his father, the maker Jacques Anthiaume. Father and son worked together ...

Georgian Tea Tongs - Single mark for Identification

Good morning, What are people's thoughts on the date of these Tea Tongs, the mark shown and where they might be made? (c.1760, London, Colonial or Provincial?) I was attracted to them because of the unusual shape of the finger rings. There is a contemporary family initial engraving of "D" ...

Re: Sugar Nips - Purportedly c.1760 - English or Continental?

I hate to ignore marks, but I would ask you this...does the Stag Head emblem appear to be stamped? To me, it does not match the primary design elements and seems to be applied offset on what may have been a blank reserve...therefore personalization or customized for a particular buyer? And if it is...

Pair of Dutch(?) or Hanau gilt spoons - Period or 19th C. ?

Good morning I have a pair of cast gilt figural spoons,I believe the style is Dutch but I'm not sure if they are of they are of the 18th Century period or a late 19th Century remake. Please could anyone assist to identify the maker? Both spoons have the same marks. https://www.925-1000.com/pics/Ximg...

Hi all, I have put this in the English (London) silver section, as that what I think it purports to be. However as you will see I have a few questions as to its age and origination.

Re: Coronet ID - English or continental type?

An English viscount's coronet would normally show eight or nine "pearls" along the upper edge, but though it only shows seven pearls, the coronet shown here is within the bounds of identifiability as an English viscount's coronet. Just my two pence worth. David Many thanks for your advice...

Coronet ID - English or continental type?

Hello, Please could someone ID the type of coronet that is engraved on the Lid of an early 20th century Walker and Hall dish. The circlet has 7 pearls which makes me wonder if it is in fact a continental coronet? (The monogram appears to be two 'M's intertwined) Kind regards, Simon https://www.925-1...

Re: Bread Fork 'R&S S EP'

Thanks Trev, I did wonder looking at the dates if the maker was too early for the style, and knowing the plethora of undocumented makers that are out there - I'm sure there are a fair few others over the 19th/20th centuries with the initials 'R&S'.
Best,
Simon
