George Adams took over Chawner & Co in the 1840's. By 1851, he exhibited at the Great Exhibition and his company became one of the major producers of high quality silver flatware in Victorian England.
George Adams is particularly well known for producing top quality silver ladles. This example was assayed in 1844 and has a charming engraving on its handle. Ladles like the one shown usually weigh about 70 g and can be purchased for £80 - £100 at antique fairs and on ebay.
George Adams Silver Tea Spoons
George Adams is also highly regarded for producing high quality Victorian flatware. Silver tea spoons by George Adams are eagerly sought after by collectors. I usually pay about £20 for a good quality George Adams tea spoon. The following set of four George Adams tea spoons (est. £75 - £85) were assayed in 1859 and have a clear "GA" maker's mark.
