This silver sugar spoon, crafted by French silversmith Jean Chabrol in 1743-1744, is a prime example of Rococo style. It is characterized by its elegant, elongated form with a delicate, pierced bowl adorned with intricate floral motifs. This piece, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, exemplifies the refined taste and craftsmanship of the 18th century, showcasing the Rococo's love for asymmetry and delicate ornamentation.
