West Country Silver Spoons and Their Makers 1550-1750 by Timothy Kent

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Inscription by author on inside front cover. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Interior and binding are also very good.

For 20 years, the author has been collecting material for a book which presents West Country Silver Spoons in an entirely fresh light, discussing makers and customers as well as the spoons themselves.

Illustrated with many examples of spoons and their marks from public and private collections with extensive biographical information, it places the subject in a social context.

Contents include places of manufacture, town marks, pricked initials, raw materials, how the trade worked and much more.
