Sugar spoon 1749 - 1750

This intricately crafted silver sugar spoon, created by French silversmith Jean-Pierre Chézelle between 1749 and 1750, is a fine example of Rococo design. The spoon's delicate, pierced bowl, adorned with a floral motif, showcases the intricate craftsmanship of the period. The elongated handle features a graceful, heart-shaped finial, adding to its elegance. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, is a testament to the artistry and refined taste of 18th-century French silversmithing.
