Marrow spoon 1738 - 1750

This silver marrow spoon, crafted by Johann Beckert V between 1738 and 1750, is a testament to the artistry of the Rococo period. The spoon's slender, elongated handle features intricate floral motifs, characteristic of the era's emphasis on delicate ornamentation and natural forms. The spoon's smooth, rounded bowl reflects the Rococo appreciation for graceful curves and elegant simplicity. The spoon is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
