Spoon 1695 - 1696

"Spoon," created by Thomas Issod between 1695 and 1696, is a simple yet elegant example of silver craftsmanship from the late 17th century. The spoon's rounded bowl and elongated handle are characteristic of the period, highlighting the refined taste of the time. This piece, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the everyday objects that were valued during this era. The spoon's graceful form and polished surface speak to the silversmith's skill, making it a valuable artifact for understanding the decorative arts of the period.
