About the B.H.M mark
Berthold Hermann Muller was a London-based importer of continental silver. His sponsor’s mark appears on decorative silver imported into Britain, including pieces with historical and Dutch-style subjects. On this spoon, the B.H.M mark identifies the sponsor rather than establishing the name of the original manufacturing silversmith.
Australia-wide postage is included in the price. International buyers: please request an insured shipping quote before purchasing. Applicable import duties and taxes are the buyer’s responsibility.
