Tea Spoon 1800 - 1810

This silver teaspoon, crafted by American silversmith Henry Farnam between 1800 and 1810, is a fine example of early 19th-century American silversmithing. The simple, elegant design features a rounded bowl and a slender handle, and the initials "AFS" are engraved on the back of the handle. The spoon is now part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
