This fine pair of Georgian English sterling silver open salt cellars with matching spoons was crafted by the distinguished silversmiths David & Robert Hennell and hallmarked in London, 1797. Each salt cellar features a beautifully shaped body and elegant feet, complemented by matching sterling spoons from the same year. The pieces are fully hallmarked with the lion passant for sterling silver, the crowned leopard’s head for London, the duty mark of King George III, and the date letter “b” for 1797, along with the Hennell maker’s mark. A wonderful example of late 18th-century craftsmanship, this set reflects the refined proportions and meticulous detail that made the Hennell workshop one of London’s most respected silversmithing families. A charming and highly collectible addition to any Georgian silver collection. Weighs approx. 230 grams, spoons and salts together. Spoon measures approx. 3 3/4 inches.
Dimensions 2 x 3 x 2.5 inches.
