On offer is a large English sterling silver spoon made in Exeter in 1851 by William Rawlings Sobey. This substantial Victorian spoon is finely crafted in solid sterling silver and bears clear Exeter assay marks alongside the maker’s mark, confirming its date and origin.

William Rawlings Sobey was an established Exeter silversmith active during the mid 19th century, producing quality domestic silver noted for its weight and straightforward Victorian design. Exeter silver is particularly collectable due to the relatively short lifespan of the Exeter Assay Office, which closed in 1883. This spoon measures approximately 9.5 inches in length and weighs around 77.4 grams, giving it an impressive feel in the hand. Condition is good, with surface wear consistent with age and use.

A strong and desirable example of mid Victorian English provincial silver.
