What a nifty little implement this beautiful antique sterling silver combination toothpick and ear wax spoon dates to the Georgian period and would have been a symbol of status in its day. A must have accessory for fashionable and rich ladies and gents!
An all round exquisite example of Georgian workmanship and a fine collectors piece every inch is chased and engraved by hand in a beautiful floral pattern. The slider in the centre moves up and down to reveal a spiral pick at one end for cleaning teeth and nails and a spiral spoon at the other for removing ear wax.
While both are fully functioning and the toothpick is handy we would definitely not recommend you use the spoon in your ear, it looks like a miniature implement of torture!
Perfectly practical and beautiful for displaying this silver luxury Georgian grooming accessory is just fabulous.
