Antique Silver & Brass Strawberry Spoon Mosgau & Lehmann

Antique Mosgau & Lehmann Gilt Strawberry Spoon

This is a strawberry (fruit) serving spoon reminiscent of the Belle Époque in France, featuring elegant floral engravings on a shallow, flat bowl. It is a piece that encapsulates the artisanal beauty of that era.

In those days, it was specially crafted to beautifully serve precious strawberries and berries. The contrast between the silver handle and the glamorous golden color of the bowl adds an extra touch of elegance to the dining table.

Delicate Botanical Engraving
The bowl (gilt brass base) is adorned with elegant floral engravings crafted by artisans of the time. When fruit is placed on it, the floral patterns peeking through the gaps delight the eye.

Heavy Relief Handle
The handle features a three-dimensional, flowing acanthus pattern. It has a substantial, weighty feel that, just by holding it, evokes the aristocratic lifestyle of the era.

How to Enjoy in Daily Life
Perfect for serving strawberries, cut fruits, or small sweets, it also has a presence that makes it a beautiful decorative item even when simply placed on a table. This glamorous item is also recommended for those new to antique cutlery.

Condition: There are signs of plating wear due to age, discoloration characteristic of brass, and minor scratches. However, this rather highlights the three-dimensional decoration, giving it a deep, antique character.
