Salt Spoon 1790 - 1806

This silver salt spoon, crafted by American silversmith Benjamin Halsted between 1790 and 1806, is a fine example of the craftsmanship of the period. The spoon's handle is adorned with delicate engraved detailing, including an oval-shaped monogram. This simple yet elegant design showcases the refined tastes of the late 18th century. The "Salt Spoon" is currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
