Description

A set of silver demitasse spoons featuring a distinctive Art Nouveau design. Each spoon is constructed with a bifurcated handle that terminates in an ornate, organic-form finial. The finials are centrally bezel-set with a round opal cabochon displaying green and blue iridescence. The overall aesthetic is consistent with late 19th to early 20th-century decorative arts. Small stamped marks are located on the reverse of the decorative finials, though they are illegible.

Length: 3.5 inches.


Condition report:

The set is in good overall condition with no structural damage or repairs noted. All spoons exhibit heavy tarnish and oxidation, including iridescent rainbow patination within the bowls. There is minor surface wear and fine scratching throughout, typical for antique silver flatware.
