Spoon 1718 - 1719

This silver spoon, crafted by English silversmith George Lambe in 1718–19, showcases the simple elegance of early 18th-century design. The spoon's understated form, with its oval bowl and gently tapering handle, reflects the refined taste of the period. The spoon's smooth, polished surface highlights the artistry of the silversmith's craft and demonstrates the enduring appeal of functional objects as works of art. Today, the spoon is part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, representing a significant piece of early American silverware.
