Period
19th century
This 19th-century silver set features a decorative spoon holder accompanied by six matching spoons. The ensemble is crafted from silver, which has been tested and confirmed for metal content, though the specific fineness remains undetermined.
The total weight of the set is approximately 25.5 troy ounces. The spoon holder stands at 6.5 inches in height with a 5-inch diameter and sits on a decorative base. Both the holder and the spoons bear marks in a foreign language accompanied by the number "92". The design is ornate, featuring intricate scrolling and detailing on the holder's rim and base, and matching decorative handles on the spoons. This functional tableware item serves as a structured display and storage piece for the accompanying silverware, combining practical utility with the decorative aesthetic typical of 19th-century silversmithing.
