Victorian Bead pattern silver basting spoon
7220
Hand forged antique silver basting spoon in the familiar Bead pattern. The beading is double struck, meaning that the decoration appears on both front and back of the spoon, and is a sign of superior quality.
It was Hester Bateman in the 1780s, the pre-eminent English lady silversmith, who introduced the simple beaded border on the Old English shape creating a neoclassical style that reflected the popularity of bead jewellery of the time and the pattern's popularity carried on into the nineteenth century.
