A matched pair of Irish silver salt spoons with distinctive gilded shovel shaped bowls. The spoons are good quality and weigh approximately 14g.
They are both clearly hallmarked for Dublin and are dated 1816 and 1819 with makers marks for James Scott and Samuel Neville.
They are in good condition for their age and the gilding is bright. There are some faint surface marks and a few minor dinks here and there but nothing detrimental. There appears to have been an old repair to the corner of one shovel but it hasn't affected the gilding and they still display well. They have been gently cleaned and polished and are ready for use.
