Boxed French Antique Sterling Silver & Vermeil Slotted Spoon – Nap III 1860’s

A lovely, delicately styled slotted spoon, with a sterling silver handle and a vermeil  bowl.

There is a boar’s head hallmark for French sterling silver on the top rim of the spoon’s handle and a very faded hallmark.

The spoon is in very good condition.

The spoon measures 6 inches (15 cms) long and the bowl is 1 ½ inches (4cms) wide.

Dating from the 1860’s, the handle’s styling is very Napoleon III and comes with its original fitted box, which closes well.

Such a slotted spoon would have been used to drain olives, pickles or cranberries or as a sugar spreader and looks very elegant on a table.
