Are you looking for an exclusive piece of late 19th-century antique table silver?
This magnificent, large silver fruit serving spoon from the year 1878 is a masterful creation by the world-renowned silver factory Fa. J.M. van Kempen en Zonen from Voorschoten. With an impressive length of 18.5 cm, this is a richly decorated showpiece for the serious collector and lover of historical silverware.
Richly Decorated Biedermeier / Historicism Decor
The absolute centerpiece of this fruit serving spoon is its broad, opulently shaped bowl.
  • Beautifully openwork: The bowl is meticulously hand-sawed in an openwork symmetrical pattern of elegant scrollwork motifs, C-volutes, and floral curls.
  • Elegant undulating rim: The raised, gently scalloped rim of the bowl beautifully catches the light and ensures that the fruit remains perfectly on the spoon.
  • Classic smooth handle: The sleek handle tapers into a subtly curved, egg-shaped end (right-angled model), keeping all visual attention on the richly decorated bowl.
Within 19th-century silver cutlery, the fruit serving spoon (or fruit spoon) was an indispensable showpiece during dessert or high tea.
  • Tasteful serving: The spoon was specifically designed for serving 'wet' or washed fruit, such as fresh strawberries, raspberries, cherries, or preserved fruit in syrup.
  • Clever design: Thanks to the large, openwork openings in the bowl, excess juice or water drains away immediately when serving. This ensures you serve only the fruit, without the rest of the dessert or pastry becoming soggy.
About the maker: Fa. J.M. van Kempen en Zonen (Voorschoten)
The firm J.M. van Kempen en Zonen (active in Voorschoten between 1858 and 1924) is synonymous with the absolute pinnacle of Dutch silver history.
  • Royal Warrant Holder: As early as 1841, founder Johannes Mattheus van Kempen received the 'Royal Warrant Holder' designation. Under the leadership of his sons, the factory in Voorschoten grew into an innovative silver powerhouse known for its unparalleled quality.
  • Historical value: This specific object dates from 1878. As fruit serving spoons were considered true status symbols on the dining table at the time, the silversmith could express all his creativity and technical perfection in them.
  • The maker's mark: Hallmarked with the recognizable recumbent moon with side points above V K in a square, the official maker's mark used in Voorschoten at the time.
