Antique English Sterling Silver Tablespoons Pair – Richard Crossley London 1806
This matched pair of antique English sterling silver tablespoons was crafted by Richard Crossley and assayed in London in 1806. Each spoon bears clear British hallmarks including the RC maker’s mark, the lion passant confirming sterling silver purity, the crowned leopard’s head for the London assay office (sometimes mistaken for a cat or jaguar), the date letter “L” for 1806, and the duty head with bust facing right, used during the Georgian period.
The spoons feature classic early 19th-century English form with gently tapered handles and elongated oval bowls. Their substantial weight and balanced proportions reflect quality Georgian craftsmanship. An appealing pair for collectors of English silver, period tableware, or those seeking authentic antique sterling for continued use or display.
