3 Decorative Victorian Silver Plate Table Spoons - Thomas Hands

A very decorative serving utensil made by Thomas Hands and Son, in business from 1861 at the colonial works in Sheffield. Very little seems to be known about this maker and I have found no other examples of his silver plate. The  handle is nicely decorated with a garland below a bow and some trailing berries and flora. It has a blank cartouche that could be personalised. I will be listing other pieces in the same pattern and will happily combine p&p.

Size: approx 21cm / 8 1/4" long.

I have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to help.

Condition: Well used spoons with plating loss to the back of the bowls,  some scratching from use, have been lightly polished and may still have the odd small mark. Please see photos.

Please feel free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay. Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay. I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.

Packing - I pack to ensure the item arrives with you undamaged. If you have specific packing instructions, please contact me before paying as this may have an impact on the price, as both an increase in weight or size can increase the cost of delivery.

I do try to recycle boxes and other materials wherever possible and will sometimes use newspaper for padding out, if it does not have any impact on the cost of postage.
