Description:

A genuine Victorian solid sterling silver table spoon, fully London hallmarked and dating to the mid–late 19th century. This is a large, heavy example at 65 grams, far chunkier than the average single spoon, making it equally attractive to collectors and silver stackers.

The presence of the duty mark confirms it was made before 1890, firmly placing it in the Victorian period. With over 60g of pure silver content, it holds a strong bullion floor while still offering excellent antique appeal.
