Sterling Silver Fruit Spoons - Antique Victorian (1898)

These fine antique Victorian sterling silver fruit spoons have embossed shell shaped bowls onto tapering shafts.

One side of each shaft is embellished with impressive chased shell texture, to a matt stylised scrolling leaf ornamentation.

The plain faceted handles terminate with impressive chased decorated scallop shell motifs.

The impressive shell shaped bowl of each spoon features a diamond heel and retains the original gilded interior.

These antique spoons are fitted to the original hinged leatherette box with satin and velvet lined interior, securing with a push fit catch.

These Victorian fruit spoons are a very good gauge of silver, fine quality and in exceptional condition.

The spoons have been professionally polished and are in presentation condition.

The box is also in presentation condition.

The embossed and chased decoration is very sharp.

Full hallmarks struck to the reverse of each handle are all very clear.

Reflections in photography may detract from the true representation of these pieces of Victorian silverware.
