It was listed by Artisan Antiques. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Artisan Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
The exterior of the spoon is richly coated in gold vermeil (silver-gilt) and features an array of ornate decorative motifs along the stem and handles. Whether be it for adding an edge of gold tones in a collection or as an acquisition for usage amongst other tea sets, porcelain, etc, these spoons provide a fine liaison between aesthetic beauty and practicality.
The set of 12 spoons are fitted in a wooden box that has a turn key which functions perfectly, allowing for the box to be locked. Unfortunately, the base of the box has a split along the bottom - we recommend for the box to be used solely for display purposes.
Hallmarks are fully present on all pieces with the maker's mark and the standard French Assay - Minerva's Head.
With no gilding loss and in excellent useable condition, these spoons would make an ideal gift or addition to one's collection or for usage during afternoon teas.
