Price:

The bowl of this caddyspoon bears a strong resemblance to flatware produced by the Callard family of London spoon makers. The heel is very similar to the drop on the back of a soup ladle assayed in London by Christopher Fly Woods, Paul Callard's apprentice and son-in-law.

A William I caddy spoon with trifurcated handle made in Schoonhoven in 1843, engraved L. Alma-Tadema

Price:

Lawrence Alma-Tadema (1836-1912) was a painter born in Dronryp in the Netherlands to Pieter Jiltes Tadema, a notary, and received the name Alma from his godfather. In his youth Lawrence was diagnosed as a consumptive and allowed to spend time drawing- however his health improved and he went on to train at the Royal Academy of Antwerp between 1852 and 1855. While in Antwerp Alma-Tadema served as an assistant to the painter and professor Louis Jan De Taye. Alma-Tadema went on to have studios in Leeuwarden (1858) and Antwerp where he began working with the painter Baron Jan August Hendrik Leys whose studio was one of the most highly regarded in Belgium. Under his guidance Alma-Tadema painted his first major work: The Education of the Children of Clovis (1861). This painting created a sensation among critics and artists when it was exhibited that year at the Artistic Congress in Antwerp. It is said to have laid the foundation of his fame and reputation. In 1870 the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian war encouraged Alma-Tadema to move to London, following a visit in 1869.

In London Alma-Tadema became one of the most famous and highly paid artists of his time, acknowledged and rewarded. By 1871 he had met and befriended most of the major pre-Raphaelite painters. In 1873 he was the last person to be made a British Citizen by the 13th century process of Denization.

Although Alma-Tadema's style fell out of fashion in the early 20th century it saw a resurgence in the mid 20th century and in 2006 The Tepidarium painted in 1881 and now in the collection of the Lady Lever Art Gallery at Port Sunlight, was included in 1001 Paintings You Must See Before You Die.

Provenance: J. D. Norie (this spoon formed lot 201 of Part I of the collection sold at Woolley and Wallis on 20th April 2004).

Robert Edgar Stone (1903-1990) was, arguably, one of the most important silversmiths of the 20th century. He was the son of a carpenter and nearly lost his arm in a childhood accident. From 1917 to 1919 he was able to attend the Central School of Arts in London via a trade scholarship from the Goldsmiths' Company in London. He went on to receive the first ever Travelling Scholarship given by the Company.

Stone was then formally apprenticed to The Tudor Art Metal and Plating Company, again through the Goldsmiths' Company, in 1919. He would be made a Liveryman of the Company in 1939) and founded his own workshop in Garrick Street in 1929 (above the offices of D. and J. Welby Limited).

Stone was known for the innovative design and the high quality of the goods he produced. In 1964 Stone left London and moved to Edinburgh where he registered a maker's mark and worked until 1980.

It is typical of Stone that he has made the design and size of this honey spoon very different from other examples produced at the time.
