Antique Brooch\u00a0<\/h3>\n
Alexander Ritchie Brooch c.1910<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/div>\n

This Antique Solid Silver Alexander Ritchie Celtic Brooch<\/span><\/b> was made in 1910 and is just so beautifully designed and expertly crafted by the renowned Silversmith from Iona. One Alexander Ritchie. I really love the pattern and detail on the front of this brooch because I think it adds that little bit extra to an already stunning piece of art.<\/span>

<\/span>This Silver Brooch<\/span><\/b> would make a wonderful collectors item or would be great to give to someone on a really special occasion like an anniversary or a birthday.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Christening Spoons Antique Silver\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

It is a valued tradition to present a newborn whom is about to be Christened with a Christening Spoon<\/span><\/b> to commemorate their big day. So, how about giving them a Christening Spoon that is both Solid Silver AND an Antique?<\/span>

<\/span>I chose this Vintage Arts and Crafts<\/a> Solid Silver Hallmarked<\/a> Christening Spoon made in Edinburgh 1937<\/span><\/b>. It was handmade by the renowned Edinburgh Artist Silversmith Euphemia Miller. The Christening Spoon<\/span><\/b><\/a> has a wonderful hand hammered finish and incredible wire work design handle. The craftsmanship and talent that has gone into this spoon makes it something truly special.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>It really is a rare and beautiful Christening spoon and is in excellent condition. It would make an absolutely perfect Christening gift because it has so much meaning and history in it. You may choose to engrave a short, personal message onto the bowl of the spoon to signify a DoB, Christening date and\/or name.\u00a0<\/span>

Dognose Spoon\u00a0<\/h3>\n

\u00a0<\/b>Antique\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Silver Dognose Spoon 1755<\/b><\/u><\/h4>\n

The last item I have chosen for today is another Solid Silver Spoon. I have chosen this very fine and Rare George II Silver Dog-Nose Rat-Tail Table Spoon. <\/b>It has\u00a0squashed but readable London hallmarks<\/a><\/span><\/b> for 1755 and makers mark of Paul Callard. I really like the subtle yet bold detail at the very top of this spoon. I think it adds more interest and uniqueness to the Silver Spoon as a whole.<\/span>

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Silver<\/a><\/div>\n


<\/span>This <\/span>Solid Silver Spoon<\/span><\/b><\/a> is in superb condition and is a very rare and collectable spoon from a highly sought after maker.

Antique Letter Openers <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Letter openers are definitely something from the past when life was a little more leisurely in contrast to today. Mail was the way to communicate back in the day and there was a certain elegance to writing letters. I was an occasion to write a letter just as much it was to receive one. Today is full of junk mail and circulars or even worse the dreaded bill form the utilities. Thats if you haven’t gone paperless. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its time to take life a little slower and stop the rush and what better way to do this by investing in an antique letter opener<\/a>. Crafted many years ago by renowned important silversmiths<\/a> and something to cherish forever. Currently we have 2 antique letter openers for sale at Edinburgh Silver. Of course this frequently changes, we sell the silver and then buy the silver. The next step is to restore the silver to nearly new like we did restoring vintage napkin ring<\/a>. Of course you can have a personalised letter opener<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Antique Silver Boxes <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
