Rare Antique Cased Set of 6 Solid Sterling Silver Coffee Spoons. British Hallmarks Multi-Assay Set which Includes Closed Chester and Glasgow Marks
Description: For sale is a highly collectible, beautiful presentation set of six solid sterling silver coffee/demitasse spoons in their original satin and velvet-lined presentation box.
This is a specialized "British Hallmarks" multi-assay office commemorative set. Rather than being stamped in a single city, each individual spoon features the unique historical crest of a different official British testing office to showcase the heritage of British silversmithing.
Active Offices: London, Birmingham, Sheffield, EdinburghPermanently
Closed Offices: Chester (Closed 1962), Glasgow (Closed 1964)
Because the Chester and Glasgow assay offices permanently ceased operations in the early 1960s, a complete six-city presentation set like this can never be legally minted or reproduced again, making this a finite and highly desirable collection piece.
Design & Features:Style: Striking early 20th-century Arts & Crafts / Art Deco geometric T-bar handles.
Material: 100% Solid Sterling Silver (fully hallmarked inside each spoon bowl with the British walking lion standard mark).
Box: Includes the original black structured presentation case with a cream satin lid lining and secure velvet-slotted base.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition. The silver retains a beautiful lustre with crisp, clear hallmarks. No personalization, initials, or monograms engraved.
