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.
