Folding spoon 1700 - 1715

This silver spoon, created by Johann Adam Boller around 1700-1715, is an example of elaborate decorative craftsmanship. The handle is adorned with intricate, gold-inlaid designs, including a crest at the top, creating a striking contrast against the smooth, polished surface of the spoon. This piece, now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, showcases the artistry of the period and the importance of finely crafted tableware in the 18th century.
