Welcome to The Finial
The Finial is the illustrated journal for The Silver Spoon Club of Great Britain, relating to all issues concerning antique silver spoons and related table flatware, with articles, member's views and questions, auction reviews and a postal auction.
The main principles of The Finial are to enhance knowledge and enjoyment for the silver spoon collector, to offer subscribers an affordable market place to purchase and sell silver spoons, to promote the desirability and retain the high ground of collecting quality spoons.
The Finial articles have covered subjects such as Apostle, Trefid, Dog-Nose, Hanoverian Rattail, Old English and Fiddle pattern spoons from salt, tea, dessert, table to Basting spoons; Hallmarks; Silversmiths; English & Scottish provincial makers and their marks.
The auction reviews, with prices achieved, cover all the major auctioneers that hold specialist spoon sales and are often accompanied with personal reports by members.
Every issue has a Postal Auction, which is only open to subscribers of The Finial, be it for vendors or purchasers and all the lots are illustrated with their hallmarks.
The Finial has members from all around the world from as far apart as America, Australia, Canada, Africa and of course throughout the United Kingdom.
The Finial is edited and published by Daniel Bexfield every two months and back issues will be updated on this website periodically. If you are interested in subscribing to The Finial and receiving the current issues please go to the subscription page.
