    Description

    Awaiting your purchase is an important and colossal early coin silver stuffing spoon made by the silversmith
    A.E. Warner.
    Andy, as he called himself, of
    Harford County, Maryland,
    born
    1786,
    and working with his father, brother, and later his son, was a master silversmith. Not everyone's work ends up in the
    Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York
    , not to mention many other venues including churches and some of America's most illustrious family's dining rooms. He began work in
    1805,
    having been trained by his father, a watchmaker and silversmith, and went on to work with his brother for many years, and alone, as well. In the end, his son took the reins, and he died while still actively working in
    1870.
    What he
    left us were examples, such as this, of his fine artistry.
    This early coin piece from the
    1830s
    crafted in
    11 silver
    signifying a purity of 91.66% having been forged from
    French francs,
    remains in very
    good antique condition
    (
    see condition report)
    with little wear
    to the pattern and a period script monogram (eCh. ) Aspectacular example of Warner's talent and creativity. What a wonderful spoon to enjoy, and pass down to posterity!
