Trifid spoon 1683 - 1684

This silver "Trifid spoon" was crafted by the English silversmith Thomas Allen between 1683 and 1684. The spoon's bowl is ornately decorated with a floral motif, typical of the late 17th-century style, while the handle features an engraved "W." The spoon is a beautiful example of English silver craftsmanship from the period and is now part of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection in New York City.
