Introduction

As you will read below we have lost a wonderful member of our unique Silver Spoon Club, Alan Kelsey was an absolute delight to chat with and would beam with enthusiasm when talking about his apprentice days as a spoon maker and how he progressed through the company and tell stories of many magnificent cutlery sets that were made – one for one hundred and forty place settings! On behalf of The Finial I send our sincerest condolences to his family. He will be missed.

It has recently been announced that after the general election, the British Hallmarking Council will hold a public consultation into the use of British being used abroad in such places as in Mumbai and Milan and should there be an added mark to indicate where the hallmarking took place. As we know the British is the oldest, and by default the first, established consumer protection worldwide, and in my opinion should not be damaged today for profit by our assay offices. (For further comments see The Finials’: Jul/Aug 2016, pages 3 & 15 and Sep/Oct 2016, pages 3 & 17). When I hear more I will of course let you know.

As always, wishing you the very best, Daniel.

Obituary

ALAN KELSEY 1932 – 2017

By David Whitbread

We are sorry to have to report that Alan passed away on 1st May, his 85th birthday.

His death means that the Spoon Club has lost a unique contributor to our understanding of spoon making. Alan had served a traditional apprenticeship, going on to specialise in flatware, and had ended his career as the foreman spoon maker at C J Vander.

Many of us will have benefited from his generosity in sharing his knowledge and expertise, or had the privilege of being shown round his former workshop to see the process of hand-raising flatware. It was always a pleasure to meet him at the Swindon get-togethers though sadly his health led him to miss the last one.

He was a modest man, but rightly proud of his craft and very conscious of its history and of how apprentice/master links tied him and his colleagues back through the generations to the master smiths of previous centuries. He was always a willing source of help whether about the actual process of making flatware or with information about the background and history of the various firms and silversmiths that had over the years been swallowed up into the workshop where he finished his career. He never entered his own mark at Hall so used his brother’s mark (GAK) on pieces he made privately.

Those of us lucky enough to own some of these have lasting mementos that demonstrate the skilled craftsmanship of someone who was a good friend to many of us and a superb Ambassador for the ’s craft.

Small Work By The Harache Company Of Huguenot Silversmiths

By David McKinley

When, having established by reference to the register of makers’ marks at Goldsmiths’ Hall that Peter Harache the elder had his workshop at Great Suffolk Street, I discovered that he traded under the title ‘Pt harache &c goldsmiths’. I naturally assumed that the other members of the Company were the other members of the extended Harache family. This led to the further assumption that, since his mark appears on large work, any small work required by the Company would have been produced by the known small workers Peter Harache the younger and his brother Abraham.

These are not unreasonable assumptions but may now prove to be unfounded since items of small work of both Sterling and standards are beginning to come to light struck with the mark of Peter Harache the elder and this suggests that he produced his own small work.

The items of small work made by Peter Harache the elder so far discovered are as follows:

Fig. 1 Fig. 2

Figure 1, Fork of Britannia silver made before 1712 but with very rubbed hallmarks. It is struck with one of the marks registered by Peter Harache the elder in 1697 and is one of a set of six. Figure 2, close up of the maker’s mark appearing on the fork.

Although we still do not know for sure how the Harache family fitted into 17th and 18th century silversmithing in London, ongoing research continues to tease out new information which is giving a much more rounded picture of the activities of this very important family of Huguenot silversmiths.

Russian Communist Silver 1927 – 1992

By Jamie Brener

After the Russian revolution of 1917 the Communist movement banned the production of silver and articles. Ten years later in 1927 under the leadership of Stalin silver production started up again. Stalin wanted the long history of silversmithing in Russia to continue. He also wanted to use silver items as rewards for people in the State, as well as making use of workmen’s skills that had become obsolete in 1917. In 1927, fifteen ateliers were set up across the USSR all producing quality pieces.

Teaspoons, Tbilisi 1958-1992

After the fall of Communism in 1992 most of the silversmiths set up their own workshops producing silver. The long history of silversmithing in Russia had survived despite the dramatic changes.

Review - Bonhams ‘The Scottish Sale’ Edinburgh 27th April 2017

Report by Mr. M

This was the eighteenth year of ‘The Scottish Sale’. Unfortunately there was not a large number of lots of provincial silver on offer this year. However, among the approximate twenty-five lots was some good quality flatware, including an extremely rare toddy ladle. Also included were two rare hollowware items on which I will also comment.

First I would like to comment on the two very rare items of hollowware.

Lot 181 – Dundee - Members may recall my report of this very rare coffee urn when it was sold at the same rooms in August 2012. Ref. - The Finial, Vol. 23/1 Sept/Oct. 2012. It was in the same condition as before, and was estimated, as previously, at £15,000 – 20,000. This time it sold for only £500 more at £15,000 .

Lot 183 – Peterhead - Another rare item. This mug was in reasonable condition considering its age. (However the Mug, referred to in the catalogue, by the same maker that was sold by Christie's in 1998 I noted, at the time, as being in excellent condition.) This cup sold for only £4,000 hammer, against an estimate of £6,000 – 8,000.

Provincial Flatware Items of Aberdeen silver made up approximately 75% of the provincial items on offer.

Lot 162 – Aberdeen - This pair of Gravy Spoons was in good overall condition with only very slightly worn bowls. They sold for only £160, just over half the bottom estimate.

Lot 163 – Aberdeen - Two gravy spoons by James Erskine. One of Fiddle pattern, in good overall condition, the other of Oar pattern, having possibly had a monogram erased. A low price of only £140.

Lot 165 – Aberdeen - Both these Old English pattern gravy spoons were in good overall condition having very good bowls. Again a low hammer price of £160.

Lot 166 – Aberdeen - Another two gravy spoons of Old English pattern. The John Leslie example was in very good condition with an excellent bowl and marks. The other, by Nathaniel Gillet, also had a very good bowl, but the marks were slightly worn and a monogram may have been erased. They sold for £180, again under the low estimate.

Lot 167 – Aberdeen - A very good set of twelve James Erskine table spoons with good clear marks and excellent bowls. A good buy at £350.

Lot 170 – Aberdeen - A good set of twelve forks with little wear to the tines.

Lot 175 – Aberdeen - These two soup ladles were of good gauge and condition.

Lot 177 – Aberdeen - A soup ladle and a marrow scoop, which were both in good condition. Provincial marrow scoops are seldom encountered. This example by James Smith (possibly) had marks as illustrated in the book ‘Aberdeen Silver A Collectors Guide’.

Lot 182 – Ellon - Members may recall the ‘heady’ day in August 2000, at Phillips first ‘The Scottish Sale' in Edinburgh, when a matching ladle appeared on the market. It sold for £7,000 hammer, against a revised upward estimate of £3,500 - £5,000. Subsequent to that it reappeared at Lyon & Turnbull in Edinburgh in August 2011 selling for £5,000 (estimated at £5,000 - £7,000). This second example to appear had better marks than the previous one and was in as good overall condition. Estimated at £1,500 - £2,000, it sold for £3,800 hammer.

Comment An interesting sale. It would appear that all the provincial items sold. However, some flatware in very good or even excellent condition was selling well below estimate. Nevertheless the rare items mostly did sell well.

Date for your diary Lyon & Turnbull are holding their annual August sale of Scottish Silver and Accessories on Wednesday 16th August, with viewing from Sunday 13th August.

A Souvenir of Crow’s Chophouse, Coleman Street

By Luke Schrager

However grand a restaurant is in the early 21st century very few, if any, use silver cutlery. However, a recently discovered pair of Fiddle Thread & Shell salt spoons made in 1804 by William Eley & William Fearn show that at least one restaurant in the nineteenth century was able to do so.

The reverse of the bowl of these salt spoons is engraved ‘45 Coleman Street’ (a road name recorded in the City of London as early as the second half of the 12th century) and the front of the stem carries later nineteenth century initials ‘JSC’ (replacing earlier ).

The 1841 census1 reveals that the household at 45 Coleman Street consisted of Joseph Crow and his wife Sarah, both aged 40, and their children Joseph George, Sarah and William. This shows that the initials ‘JSC’ are not those of a single person but the combined marriage initials of Joseph and Sarah Crow.

Genealogical records showed that the eldest son Joseph George Crow was baptised at Towcester on 7th November 1827. His younger siblings were both baptised at St. Albans: Sarah on 1st August 1830 and William on 22nd June 18342, which helps to establish the sequence of their move to London.

The elder Joseph and Sarah (nee Liddington) had married on 8th April 1826 at which time both were recorded as being resident at Towcester in Northamptonshire (the surnames Crow and Liddington can be found locally in the first half of the nineteenth century). The baptismal records for their children suggest that Joseph and Sarah left Towcester for St. Albans between the end of November 1827 and August 1830. They are first recorded at Coleman Street, in the City of London, in the Poll Book for 18343 but the preparations for this move to London can be seen from around the end of July 1830. On 16th July 1830 Joseph Crow, who is not listed as having served an apprenticeship, became a Freeman of the Cooks’ Company of the City of London (in mediaeval times being a freeman of a Livery Company had been a legal necessity for trading within the City boundaries4). The extant records of the Cooks’ Company show that in addition to receiving his freedom Crow was also made a Liveryman on the same day5. This conferred a higher status on him and also enabled him to vote in the election of the Lord Mayor.

The Times for 22nd May 18406 records the sale of ‘a brick built freehold house (land tax redeemed) situate no. 45 Coleman Street, containing two attics, two bedrooms, dining parlour, kitchen, chop room (extending nearly the whole depth of the premises), back parlour and cellars, let on lease [to] Mr. Joseph Crow … at a rental of £100 per annum’. Then, in 1845, the lease was again

.10. available for sale as being ‘in the heart of the City of London, doing a good business in the eating house line … rent £71 per annum’7. The Crows had already moved to number 53 Coleman Street as recorded in the Times on 13th October 18458).

The elder Crows did not have long to enjoy their new home. The burial of Joseph Crow at St. Stephen’s Church, Coleman Street was recorded on 21st February 1847 and Sarah died on 26th August 1850 at 53 Coleman Street9.

Crow’s Chop House does not seem to have long survived Sarah’s death. In August 1851 two advertisements appear in the Times for former staff seeking employment. ‘G. S.’ sought ‘a SITUATION as HEAD WAITER, or share waiter in a chop house or dining room' and described himself as 'a young man, age 30, who has lived 12 years in his last situation, Crow’s Chophouse, City’10. Four days later ‘A. B.’ placed a similar advertisement as a ‘respectable married man … between twenty and thirty years of age’ who wanted ‘a SITUATION as MAN COOK and CUTTER, or Cutter only... He has been in a first rate house for the last ten years and down to the present time, viz. Crow's Chophouse and dining rooms, Coleman Street City’11.

These advertisements reveal that Crow’s Chophouse was ‘a first rate house’ and an establishment the name of which would mean something to prospective employers. It also inspired loyalty from its staff; the Head Waiter and the Man Cook had been with the business since around 1839 and 1841 respectively and had therefore worked at 45 Coleman Street. The size of the Chop room there received special mention in the property details in 1840 as ‘extending nearly the whole depth of the premises’ and, assuming there was more silver than this one pair of salt spoons, must have been a place of some prestige.

The salt spoons, however, suggest one last thing about 45 Coleman Street: that it had probably been a restaurant or Chop House prior to 1834. The date of the engraving on the heel is not the same as the Crows’ initials. If it were contemporary with the manufacture of the spoon in 1804, that would suggest that the Crows took over the lease on an existing business of some standing complete with the fixtures and fittings (including these salt spoons) since it is very unlikely that private individuals would engrave their address on the back of their flatware.

A Fascinating Resource Rediscovered

By Granville Gregg

One of my other hobbies is family history, a disease that I have had almost as long as spoon collecting. I have lots of census data, parish record transcripts and other resources that are typical of genealogists. Amongst these resources, I rediscovered a facsimile copy of a 1791 directory, covering England and Wales. I had forgotten just what a wealth of information it contained!

Naturally, I trawled through it to see which, now famous, silversmiths were recorded, and where they had their place of business. I’m not an expert when it comes to the lives of silversmiths, and I have to rely on my own book resources to check if the silversmith listed had been noted. (See bibliography at end, for my book resources).

After many hours of scouring and extracting the data, in original 18th century printing, I have found 381 silversmiths that were not in my reference books. They are spread over 32 counties and 90 towns and villages. There were 208 in London alone!

Of course, just because a trader is described as a silversmith, doesn’t make them a working fabricator of silver articles, they could in reality be simply, what we would call, a jeweller, or a retailer. However, some are described as ‘silversmith & jeweller’, others as ‘jeweller & silversmith’ or ‘ & jeweller’. Interestingly some are simply described as ‘spoonmaker’ without specifying the material.

Feedback

Trevor Griffin emails: Reading Tim Kent’s informative article on Winchester Trefids (The Finial, Mar/Apr ’17, pages 9 to 12) reminded me to look again at a Trefid spoon that I acquired some years ago. The spoon has marks, a fleur-de-lys and letter ‘S’, the same as his example in Figure 7, with the front of the terminal engraved ‘TH’ over the date 1683. This mark is shown in Jackson’s ‘Wales and Unascribed English Provincial’ section (on page 523) and I am pleased that this mark can now be attributed.

I also have two other Trefid spoons each marked with just a fleur-de-lys in the bowl, one is marked on the terminal with ‘T.B’ over ‘R.C’ and dated 1680, the other is marked ‘S.A’ over ‘A.M’ but undated. Each have distinctive ‘ears’ to the terminal. The distinctive style of the fleur-de-lys mark on these spoons is not dissimilar to that on the Winchester spoon and so could these spoons also be attributed to this group?

Ian Pickford responds: Oops!! Nigel Israel is quite correct (The Finial, Mar/Apr ’17, page 13). The Leopards Head was introduced in 1300 and not 1200 as in my feedback. Sorry for the typo. I should have spotted it. (As I should have done too. – Ed.).

Members are welcome to come to view the Lots on offer, but please phone or email first.

Bidding The Lot is offered to the top bidder on approval, at a figure that is 50% the difference between that bid and the under bid. Or where only one bid is received, at 50% the difference between that figure and the reserve. Should two or more members submit an identical top bid the Lot is offered to the member whose bid was received first, at that price. The Lot will be sent to you for approval where you can decide to either purchase or return the Lot.

When submitting your bid(s) please make sure you clearly state the Lot number, a brief description, your bid (excluding premium), name & address and a telephone number.

If you are successful we will telephone you on the day of the sale from 6pm to confirm your purchase(s) and at what price. Also to confirm that someone will be at home the following Thursday morning, to receive the lot(s), sent by guaranteed special delivery.

We request payment within 48 hours of your receiving the lot(s), or their immediate return (together with a refund of the postal and packaging charges (£8.50) incurred in the failed transaction) should you decide not to take up your option to purchase.
