Set of 12 Elgin Silver Dessert Spoons, c.1820

This is an outstanding full set of Scottish silver dessert spoons with provincial marks for Elgin.

Comprising a dozen spoons, this set is in Fiddle & Shell pattern with each spoon being additionally engraved with a contemporary crest of a rooster.

The quality and condition are both superb. Each spoon has a nice chunky feel in the hand. The decoration and crests are crisp throughout, the bowl tips are thick and unworn and all pieces are free from damage, repair and have a nice antique patina.

The marks are identical and clear on the reverse of all twelve spoons and feature "CF" for the maker Charles Fowler, "ELGIN" providing a clear indication of origin and a well defined "St Giles" within a stamp, after whom Elgin's cathedral is named.

A truly fabulous set with many interesting features and no negative issues. At just £100 per spoon, this is an extremely competitively priced set of Scottish provincial silverware!
