Spoon 1699

Theodorus Huigen's "Spoon" from 1699 is an example of Dutch silverwork from the late 17th century. The spoon's handle features intricate details, including a decorative pattern of small, repeated motifs, and a rounded knob at the end. The bowl of the spoon is ornately engraved with a coat of arms and the date 1699. The spoon, now in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of Dutch silversmiths during this period.
