PAIR of GEORGE III SILVER ONSLOW SAUCE LADLES

Thomas Tookey, London, c1775 (date mark cast over in finishing)

 

 

 

 

Each with swirl-fluted circular bowls and slender arched tapering shafts with a cast

overscrolled terminal, scarf joints visible

   

Early true Onslow pattern silver, perhaps named after Arthur Onslow (1691-1768), speaker

 of the House of Commons, is somewhat rare, quite beautiful, and blends well with the Hanoverian

and Old English patterns of silver flatware.  It was made in the third quarter of the18th century, the

overscrolled grooved handle, resembling somewhat the turned "paperscroll" decoration on early 

 Georgian chairs. The handle is cast separately and applied with an angled scarf joint to the shaft. 

 

Condition: Excellent; maker's marks clear, the other cast over in the finishing

 

7" Long / 3.8 oz.
