Skewer 1775 - 1800

"Skewer" is a late 18th century silver skewer created by John Letelier Sr. It is currently in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The skewer, made of silver, is characterized by a thin, elongated body with a circular handle at one end and a sharp point at the other. This object, often used in the 18th century for cooking and serving, represents an important piece of American silverware from the late 18th century, reflecting the artistic craftsmanship of the time.
