About the Item

An elegantly presented case of twelve silver-gilt, or vermeil, tea or coffee spoons, distinctively shaped with pointed bowl tips and elaborately shaped handle ends engraved with scrolled foliage designs. These gorgeous late 19th-century sterling silver spoons bear the 'Minerva 2nd Titre' hallmark, meaning they are of at least 80% silver purity and are in fantastic antique condition. The green leather and gilt presentation case is original, with working hinges and clasp, and is lined with soft mustard-coloured silk, which is still vibrant in colour and stamped with the maker's mark of 'A Gaudin, 44 Rue de Rome, Marseille'. A fabulous and very stylish accessory to make your afternoon tea extra special.

Christofle Art Nouveau Silver Spoons, French Sterling Silver Spoons Set of 12
Located in Miami, FL
A very fine quality set of 12 antique sterling silver tea, coffee or dessert spoons attributed to Christofle, circa 1890-1930. Stunning design and craftsmanship. The handles have sophisticated Art Nouveau Pattern different decor, flowers, vine leaves, bunch of grapes, foliage, decor dahlias. The mark “925” on the bowl confirms that it’s sterling silver (.925 purity). The handle shows ornate floral and foliate engraving, typical of early 20th-century American or European silver flatware. The pattern style — squared edges with raised floral decoration — closely resembles Art Nouveau to early Art Deco transitional designs (roughly 1890s–1930s). The spoon shape (slightly deep oval bowl, short handle relative to bowl size) suggests a bouillon or cream soup spoon, not a teaspoon. Presented in its original box by Prestigious silversmith: A La Gerbe...
