Antique Solid Silver Christening Spoon – Sheffield 1895, Allen & Darwin
This exquisite antique sterling silver Christening spoon was crafted in Sheffield in 1895 by the distinguished Victorian silversmiths Allen & Darwin. Measuring 12cm in length and weighing a substantial 14.5 grams, this spoon features a wonderfully detailed bright-cut floral design, showcasing the precision and artistry of late 19th-century English silver craftsmanship.
A Piece of Victorian Heritage
The year 1895 sits at the heart of the Victorian era – a period celebrated for its attention to detail and high standards of design. Owning a piece from this time means owning more than a spoon: it is a fragment of social history, reflecting the values of elegance, refinement, and fine workmanship.
A Traditional & Symbolic Christening Gift
For centuries, silver spoons have been given at Christenings, baptisms, and naming days, carrying the symbolism of prosperity, nourishment, and a blessed future. Gifting a spoon such as this is not only a gesture of love and goodwill but also the passing down of tradition.
