Condition

This antique ceremonial silver trowel is a very good gauge of silver, excellent quality and in excellent condition in keeping with age.

The presentation box is in excellent condition.

The bright cut engraved decoration is very crisp.

There is some natural crazing to the handle in keeping with age; this does not affect the integrity of the piece.

Full hallmarks struck to the underside of the trowel are all very clear.

The part hallmarks to the ferrule have wear in keeping with age and location.

Reflections in photographs may detract from the true representation of this piece of antique silverware.
