Solid Silver Heart Finial Linked Love Spoons, with shell back bowl c.1740. One spoon is marked with the makers initials IL. maker unknown. There is a very old repair to the back of one of the spoons, this repair has been very well carried out, and is mentioned purely for accuracy. These spoons originate from the wooden love spoons of the early 17th. century and were crafted by men for their sweethearts. The examples offered here are very rare, and would make a unique Silver Anniversary Gift. There is space in the heart on the top of each spoon to engrave a single initial.
