Bring pure elegance to the coffee or tea table with this exceptionally beautiful antique silver sugar spoon (powdered sugar spoon). This unique collector's item masterfully combines silver repoussé and engraving with a beautiful, warm red faceted handle of natural carnelian.
The silver scoop is designed in a richly decorated shell shape with a finely perforated base, specially designed to distribute powdered sugar elegantly and evenly. The transition between the scoop and the handle features a beautifully engraved scroll and braided motif. The silver mounting ring fits perfectly around the six-sided cut carnelian semi-precious stone, which displays a brilliant deep red glow in the light.
This table ornament is in excellent antique condition without any breaks in the stone. On the back of the handle, the object is clearly marked with the official master mark AGK of the well-known female silversmith A.A. Graves - Kooiman from Schoonhoven (active from 1879). The piece also bears the Dutch sword mark for at least second grade solid silver (.833). A rare cultural-historical object for the true connoisseur!
