Comments: An exceptionally rare set of dessert spoons in a fabulously opulent pattern. These Regency spoons are gilt all over and very reminiscent of the French taste. The stems appear at first glance to be fiddle pattern, but the shoulders are in the form of a fleur-de-lys. Both sides of the stem are superbly decorated with an array of shells amongst seaweed, vine & grapes and lion's mask to the centre. The bowls retain their original thick bowl tips. The rich gold colour is consistent throughout (despite the differences that seem to show in the photos!) and the spoons appear to have hardly ever been used in their 200 year life. The maker is not known for his flatware production but instead is a highly regarded maker of boxes and wine labels. A truly sensational set of spoons.
