Are you looking for a museum-worthy piece of historical silver with a fascinating story?
This rare 18th-century silver punch ladle is an acquisition for any serious collector of antique silver. The deep, round bowl of the ladle has been artisanally forged from an original silver 'Crown' coin, minted during the Stuart period under the reign of Queen Anne (1702–1714).
Around the edge of the bowl, the historical Latin edge inscription of the coin is still beautifully and clearly legible: "DECUS ET TUTAMEN · ANNO REGNI SEXTO" (Translation: 'An ornament and a safeguard – In the sixth year of the reign'). This places the coin exactly in the year 1707, the historic year in which the Acts of Union united the kingdoms of England and Scotland. On the underside of the bowl, the official maker's mark GR is clearly struck in a cartouche (see macro photo).
The ladle is equipped with an authentic, elegantly twisted, and tapered wooden handle that ends in a characterful knob.
Condition: Given its respectable age of over 300 years, the ladle is in a particularly beautiful, authentic condition with a wonderful historical patina. There is a small, honest sign of age (solder/wear spot) at the silver transition from the bowl to the wooden handle, as detailed in the macro photos. However, this does not diminish the historical value of this unique collector's item.
