Art Nouveau Period French Sterling Silver & Mother-of-Pearl Double Spoon Set

Art Nouveau Period French Sterling Silver & Mother-of-Pearl Double Spoon Set A charming and exquisite set of mother-of-pearl and sterling silver cutlery. The handles are crafted from substantial mother-of-pearl, featuring Art Nouveau-inspired shell-like engravings on the central band. The spoon faces are made of sterling silver, hallmarked with the French Minerva head and the silversmith's mark. This is a truly refined and elegant pair of spoons. One, with a deeper curve, is suited for sugar or candy (and can also serve as a tea strainer), while the other, with a shallower curve, is ideal for cookies. This set is designed for individual use. The handles, made of thick mother-of-pearl, feel solid and cool to the touch, shimmering beautifully under the light. A worthy addition to your collection. # Includes the pictured storage box. Dimensions: Sugar/Candy Spoon: Approximately 17.6 cm Cookie Spoon: Approximately 17.6 cm Era: Circa 1900 Fully functional, but please note that as a century-old antique made from natural materials and handcrafted sterling silver, it may bear minor imperfections and signs of its history. Purchase with understanding.
