Scottish Provincial Tablespoon

This exceptional spoon is a rare and highly desirable example of the fine craftsmanship of Adam Burgess, an accomplished silversmith known to have worked in Dumfries, Scotland during the late 18th to early 19th century. Pieces bearing his mark are seldom seen on the market, making this spoon a true collector’s item.

Struck with clear and well-defined hallmarks, this spoon attests to its authenticity and quality. The bowl remains in very good condition, retaining a fine shape with minimal wear, a testament to the care with which it has been preserved over the years.

The overall form is elegant yet practical, reflecting the restrained beauty typical of provincial Scottish silver of the period. Collectors will particularly appreciate the rarity of Dumfries silver and the significance of Adam Burgess’s work in the broader context of Scottish silversmithing.

A distinctive and historical piece, ideal for the serious silver collector or anyone with an eye for rare provincial craftsmanship.
