regarding its age. The silver is lightly gilt and the whole outside is covered
with fine silver wire work filled. This is a lovely spoon. The right side is marked with the Russian
silver purity mark of 84” purity silver. A great exemplar to add to your

authenticity of the product. The details of the bas-relief are perfect and
extremely crisp; practically all of the original gilt finish is present. A
superb example all through. The gold retains beautiful luster throughout, is
essentially perfect, no flaking, rubbing or any other noticeable wear. The

ABOUT VINTAGE
JEWELRY. Like fine wine, fine
jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails.
Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its
own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it
doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the
past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design
period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one
era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old,
they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that,
but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both
singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow
the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history
of the period.
