Dating from 1870, John Wendt's Florentine is an intricately detailed and finely rendered, Renaissance Revival, design with Moorish undertones.
This 7" long, relatively weighty 1.32 T. oz., preserve or jelly spoon is a particularly fine example in pristine condition.
It has a generously proportioned, 2 1/2" long, 1 5/8" at the widest, 1/2" deep, shell form bowl with scalloped edges and a ribbed interior, all finished in a pale, satin matte, gold wash front and back sides.
The shield reserve on the handle front is engraved in a handsome "DBH" overlain, decorative, high Victorian, monogram.
As noted, this is in pristine, meaning fully original, condition, absent any signs or use, wear, or damage. The bowl is flawless, without dents, nicks, or dings, and the overall finish is bright and smooth.
