Decorative c. 1880 Unusual Pattern Sterling Silver Sugar Spoon
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends
5602f $48.00
While the pattern on this 5 7/8" long, .9 T. oz., likely 1870s or 1880s, sugar spoon is by an unidentified maker and without a name, the design and execution bespeak a sophisticated American manufacturer, and there are enough various pieces of this that surface to confirm it was issued as a full line. The pattern is intricate and rather courtly, in a Henry VIII or Elizabeth I manner. The design elements include bellflowers, acanthus leaves, rosettes, beading and anthemia set... Click for details

1870s Revivalist Sterling Silver Gold Bowl Berry Spoon
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends
5593f $90.00
While a pattern in general production, but without a documented name or maker, the design on this 8 3/4" long, 1.83 T. oz., sterling silver berry or other serving spoon incorporates a dense array of Greek Revival and Moorish design elements. Likely dating from the 1870s, one private researcher has postulated Fessenden of Providence, Rhode Island, as a maker.
