Presented is an antique, English sterling silver serving spoon made by John Robins of London in 1794. This late 18th century spoon is done in a classic Georgian design. The bowl has a gold wash and raised, detailed fruit decorations. The handle has a rounded tip and there may have been a professional monogram removal, but it is hard to tell for sure.
