England | 19th century

An elegant Victorian silver tea service comprising twelve handcrafted teaspoons and the original matching sugar tongs. Beautifully modelled in the form of scallop shells, the design reflects the refined taste and sophisticated table etiquette of late nineteenth-century England.

The finely detailed shell bowls, flowing lines and well-balanced proportions demonstrate the quality of Victorian silversmithing, where functional tableware was elevated through graceful design and meticulous craftsmanship. Complete sets of this kind have become increasingly difficult to find, particularly when accompanied by their original matching sugar tongs.

Presented in excellent antique condition, free from damage, deformation or restoration.
