Spoon 1705 - 1706

This silver spoon, created by Thomas Sadler between 1705 and 1706, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the early 18th century. The simple, elegant design of the spoon, with its oval bowl and slightly flared handle, exemplifies the understated style of the period. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this spoon is a fine example of early American silverware and reflects the evolving tastes of the time.
