Coffee spoon 1730 - 1765

This silver coffee spoon, crafted by Johann Christian Kessler between 1730 and 1765, showcases the delicate artistry of the Rococo period. Its handle is intricately engraved with a floral motif, reflecting the movement's emphasis on asymmetry and organic forms. The spoon's graceful shape and delicate adornment exemplify the elegance and refined taste of the era, making it a prized example of silverware from the 18th century. Now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, this piece is a testament to Kessler's skill and the enduring allure of Rococo design.
