Are you looking for a refined and rare piece of historical silverware for your collection?
This antique silver tea scoop is a magnificent example of high-quality 19th-century Schoonhoven silver art.
The item was handcrafted in 1880 and is in good condition. As beautifully shown in the image, the scoop has an elegantly shaped, wavy, and wide bowl with raised edges, specifically designed to perfectly scoop loose tea leaves from an antique tea caddy. The beautifully shaped handle immediately catches the eye with its rich ornamentation: an extremely intricate, handmade engraving of a star-shaped floral motif embedded in graceful scrolls and geometric lines. This makes it a characteristic and luxurious example of the romantic Dutch Biedermeier style.
The scoop was forged by the renowned Schoonhoven master silversmith Gerrit Adrianus van Geelen (active in the second half of the 19th century). Pieces from his workshop are known for their solid quality and the razor-sharp quality of the engravings. A charming, small-scale luxury product that is a guaranteed eye-catcher when serving an exclusive high tea or as a valuable addition to your silver collection.

The tea scoop is clearly and fully marked with the official historical Dutch hallmarks:
  • Lion passant (2): The legal hallmark for 2nd grade Dutch silver (.833).
  • Minerva head with the letter M: The official office mark of the assay office in Schoonhoven.
  • Master's mark G. A. G. in a rectangle: The official registered master's mark of Gerrit Adrianus van Geelen.
  • Year letter v: Guarantees the exact production year 1880.
