About the Design

 

These London-made spoons are classic examples of Georgian silver, with clean lines and balanced proportions. The matching engraving on each spoon adds character and historical interest, marking them as a special commission rather than ordinary tableware.

Made by Eley & Fearn during the reign of George III, this set combines quality craftsmanship with a unique connection to England’s judicial past.
