19th Century French Solid Silver .950 Fine Very Good Quality Serving or Table Spoon by Henri Soufflot.

19th century
Description

Late 19th century French hallmarked solid silver .950 fine serving or table spoon made by Henri Soufflot of Paris. He was a manufacturer/jeweller who used this rising sun maker's mark from 1884-1910.

This heavy spoon is first standard French sterling silver at .950 fine, which is a higher silver content than English sterling silver, and bears the appropriate crisp Minerva head mark as well as clear maker's mark in the bowl.

Size-8 inches long by 1.75 inches wide.

Weight-very heavy at 72 grams

With ornate scrolled initials on the reverse side of the stem, perhaps an M superimposed over an R, this wide stemmed and heavy gauged spoon with simple design is in very good condition.

Excellent for serving food, this will blend with any pattern, and would make a lovely yet practical gift to give for a Christening or any special occasion.

Declaration

Serpentine Antiques has dated this French Silver Serving Spoon to the 1890s.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

French silver flatware of the nineteenth century is defined by its clean classicism, refined proportions, and strict hallmarking standards established following the French Revolution.

Pieces crafted to the French First Standard consist of 950 parts per thousand pure silver (95% purity), which is a higher silver content than standard British sterling silver (92.5%).

Authentic pieces carry official French guarantee marks, such as the Minerva head punch indicating silver purity, alongside a makers mark enclosed within a lozenge shape containing the silversmiths initials and symbol.

Antique silver serving pieces bring historical texture to contemporary dining setups when mixed with modern stoneware, linen table runners, or displayed on a dining sideboard.

Hand wash in warm soapy water immediately after use, dry thoroughly with a soft cloth, and polish periodically using specialized non-abrasive silver cream to remove natural tarnish.
