Irish Georgian Silver Tablespoon - Christopher Skinner

Reference: S11145 Period: George III Year: 1765 Silversmith: Christopher Skinner Place: Dublin Price: $ 160.00 Weight: 75 grams Dimensions: 22.5 cm Condition: Very good, some small dimples to bowl. Description: A Irish Georgian silver tablespoon, in the Old English pattern, with original owners engraved initials PRM. The spoon has a lovely feel, full of character, with quite a large bowl. The hallmarks are bottom marked, and very clear, they could not be better. They include Dublin Hibernia, Crowned Harp, date letter R for 1765 and makers mark C.S in diamond punch, with star above and below, very distinctive. Skinner worked between 1739 and 1765, so this spoon was made right at the end of his career. He was a highly respected silversmith, he was elected Warden in 1751, Master in 1754 and in 1755 was elected to the Dublin City Common Council (Bennett, Collecting Irish Silver, page 153).
