Pair of Admiralty Pattern Sauce Ladles by GA
Sold
Sauce Ladles (pair) - Admiralty pattern - London 1843/52 by George Adams - 15.6cm long; 91g - KS/7076c
These are a stunning pair of antique silver sauce ladles in the scare and desirable Admiralty pattern.
In addition to the die-struck fouled anchor motif of the Royal Navy, these sauce ladles are engraved with an unusual, but attractive engraved crest - no doubt belonging to a high ranking officer. The sauce ladles have a good, solid feel in the hand (as one would expect from Chawner & Co) and are in fine, antique condition.
Admiralty Pattern was first produced circa 1838 for use by the Royal Navy (as denoted by the arrow stamp adjacent to the hallmark).
