About the Baleen Handle: Baleen – historically known as whalebone – is not bone, but a natural keratin material taken from the mouths of Baleen whales. In the 18th century it was prized for its exceptional strength, flexibility and resistance to heat, making it ideal for hot-liquid serving implements such as toddy ladles. Its use firmly dates this piece to the Georgian period, as baleen largely disappeared from domestic production by the early 19th century. Surviving original baleen-handled examples are now increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors. This example qualifies fully under antique exemptions and is legal to sell as a pre-1947 historic object. Construction & Features The hand-raised white metal bowl is inset with a genuine George II silver halfcrown, a desirable decorative feature reflecting the period fashion for coin-set domestic wares. The bowl is finished with a fine applied beaded rim, giving visual weight and refinement. The long twisted baleen handle is fitted with a correct tubular silver metal ferrule, confirming original period construction rather than later replacement. At approximately 38.5cm in length, this is an impressively sized ladle with strong visual presence, ideal for display. Together these elements create a striking example of Georgian tavernware craftsmanship and early British drinking culture. Condition & Authenticity This is an original 18th century working object and retains honest signs of historic use. Period splits to either side of the pouring spout. Rim separation consistent with long-term hot liquid service (see photographs). Surface patina and tool marks consistent with hand manufacture These are typical survivorship features found on genuine toddy ladles and reflect the stresses of repeated hot punch use over nearly three centuries. Importantly:? No modern solder repairs? No reshaping? No artificial restoration? Original form retained The ladle is therefore offered as a collector and display piece, not for liquid service. Historical Context Toddy ladles were used to serve hot punch mixtures in Georgian Britain, a central feature of domestic entertaining and tavern culture. Examples with baleen handles and silver coin inserts were considered prestige household items and were often retained as heirlooms. Today they are collected for their craftsmanship, scarcity and strong connection to 18th century social history. 38.5cm. Offered as decorative collector’s piece.

This is a superb and rare to find Antique Danish. The heavy Silver case and face are in good condition with just a little age-related wear, but no dings or dents. The base could do with tightening a little to the clock as there’s a very small amount of movement, but access isn’t possible, however it is still stable. The clock movement is in working order and winds up as it should from the crown to the top. Pulling the crown up allows the hands to be moved manually to set the correct time. There is an inscription to the front with the name “Joyette” to the top and the date “21 April 1919″ to the bottom. To the top and reverse of the case are the Danish hallmarks for 1919 as well as the makers mark and name of A. The case measures approximately 15cm high and 9.5cm by 6cm at the base. Please note: There are reflections shining onto the item in the photos from the background lighting used. Please take a look at the photos to evaluate the condition for yourself as. We have many other collectable items for sale at affordable prices, please feel free to take a look.
