Sold
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">Spoon- Trefid - London 1688 by John Clifton - 192mm long, 54 grams - Ref. No.: MK/9683</p>
A good example of a James II period trefid spoon with reeeded rattail to the reverse of the bowl. The reverse terminal bears a later betrothal triangle. The spoon is in good order, albeit quite bright and bears a good set of hallmarks for a short lived monarch's reign.
The catholic James II was also James VII of Scotland and spent just 3 tumultuous years on the English throne (1685-88)
