Unused Set of 6 Antique Silver Filigree Coin Bowl Spoons + Fork + Tongs c. 1900
Description: We honestly know next to nothing about these amazing little spoons (or salt cellars). We found them in an old trunk of my grandmothers, and they are all in near perfect condition, with no bends, dings, dents, twists, or scratches. The filigree work is incredible, and my photos don’t even begin to do it justice; these are some of the thinnest silver wires I have ever seen, some less than the thickness of a human hair! Each of the 6 matching spoons is about 4.25″ long with a 7/8″ bowl, about 5/8″ wide at the top and about a 3/16″ wide stem. The engraving or embossing on both sides of the coin bowl is equally spectacular, and each one weighs about 9.5 grams. The adorable little pickle? Fork is also about 4.25 long, with the same handle, but is only about 5/8 wide from tine to tine; and it weighs about 4.3 grams. The tongs are virtually identical to the spoons, with the same bowls and handles (and unbelievably delicate filigree workmanship), but they also have a small cluster of five flowers? Encircling a 6th in a sort of rounded pentagram shape, which has been attached to each of the two handles about half-way down. The tongs weigh about 20.8 grams. Please let us know it you have any identifying information on this great little set. Please feel free to make an offer on any of my listings. The price that I have entered is just a guess to cover the cost to anywhere in the world, and you will not be charged any more than that. No, we’re not a store, a dealer or even a collector; it’s just time for us to get rid of some of this stuff. Any “cross-hatching” in the photo is from my crummy scanner, and not on the item itself.
