Stock No. 2375	William and Mary silver clothes whisk
	William and Mary sterling silver clothes whisk of conical shape. A family coat of arms is engraved just above the hallmarks and is currently being researched.
Maker :- TB, crescent below

Condition :-Excellent, with a wonderful patina and very good hallmarks. The bristles were replaced at some stage but this was done quite a while ago
Hallmarked :- London 1693
Size :- 6.5 inches (16.7 cm) high
Weight :- 3.7 ozt (115.1 g) including bristles
The maker's mark, TB with crescent below, has been recorded on page 150 of Jackson's "English Goldsmiths and their Marks" and on page 148 of the new Jackson but the maker has not yet been identified. This is a lovely piece of silver. It is very difficult to find 17th century silver hollow ware in such good condition. This whisk would originally have been part of a toilet service.
