Swedish Solid Silver Gold-wash Filigree
& Steel Traveling Utensil Set Fork, Knife and Spoon with Red Glass Jewel
End Marked for silver by Goran Jerell 1734-1740
Presented
is a stunningly elegant solid silver filigree gold wash fork, knife and spoon
personal traveling set with marks for silver made in Sweden. These beautiful
pieces have great detailed filigree detailing on the handle with a red glass
jewel inset in the end and a great gold wash on the for and a the spoon that
has an exemplary raised decoration on the back of the spoon. The spoon and the
fork both have hallmark of GJ and the steel bladed knife is very sharp and has
a hallmark on the blade just above the handle. I believe the silver is marked for
silver by Goran Jerell working in the province of Vadstena, Sweden 1734-1740. I
have placed a picture of my research in the photos above. They are in stunning
condition with no monogram, only some pin-prick dings, some nicks in the blade
of the knife, a slightly loose wiggle of the handle of fork, some slight loss
of gold wash and some fine scratches from gentle use and care. They are an excellent
set for the silver collector with an eye for the finest esthetics of antique
rare museum quality silver.
