Hallmarked for 1781 and crafted by renowned London silversmith George Smith III, they are not only functional but historically significant. With classic Georgian proportions, fine detailing, and a graceful balance in the hand, they speak to the refined taste of the late 18th century.

The hallmarks on both spoons are unevenly struck, but after careful consideration we are confident in the attribution to George Smith III and the 1781 date. A lovely, simple monogram is engraved on each spoon. Hallmarks remain legible.
