Charles Boyton Mustard Spoon 4″ 1836

A fine example of early Victorian silver, this 4-inch mustard spoon was crafted in 1836 by renowned London silversmith Charles Boyton. Designed for serving sharp condiments at the table, the spoon still retains its original 24K gold (vermeil) bowl, a feature that not only enhanced elegance but also protected the silver from the acidity of mustard.

Pieces from Boyton’s early period are increasingly collectible, and the survival of the original gilding makes this spoon particularly desirable. With its balance of refined utility and historical significance, this piece captures the artistry and dining culture of the era—an attractive addition for collectors of antique silver.
