A major name in mid 19th century Boston silver production and retailing, Farrington & Hunnewell was the maker of this 6 7/8" long, .9 T. oz., coin silver preserve spoon marked "< F & H >."

F&H were masters of bright cut and fine engraving, which this piece illustrates. The work on the front of this portrays anthemion and leaf detailing against a fine line background that mimics engine turning.

The handle has a rounded end with a slight "Tipt" backside, and a shield form reserve, which in this instance was never monogrammed.

The bowl is plum-shaped and plain, save for faint traces of an original gold wash finish.

This is in superb condition. The engraving remains crisp and sharp. The bowl is free of any bends, dents, or nicks, and there is an overall bright finish.
