Table Spoon 1787 - 1790

This silver tablespoon, crafted by Stephen Emery in 1787–90, exemplifies the refined craftsmanship of the late 18th century. The simple, elegant design, featuring an oval bowl and a slender handle, showcases Emery's skill in working with metal. The engraved decoration on the back of the handle, likely a monogram, adds a personal touch to this functional object, now preserved in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
