Spoon 1797 - 1800

This silver spoon, crafted by Paul Revere between 1797 and 1800, is a testament to the silversmith's versatility. Beyond his iconic role in the American Revolution, Revere was also a skilled craftsman, producing everyday objects like this spoon. The simple yet elegant design, featuring a rounded bowl and an octagonal handle, reflects the refined taste of the late 18th century. Now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this spoon is a tangible reminder of Revere's artistry and the craftsmanship of his time.
