Set of six spoons 1766 - 1767

This set of six silver spoons, created by French silversmith Jacques Anthiaume between 1766 and 1767, showcases the elegant craftsmanship of the Rococo period. The spoons exhibit delicate floral motifs and ornate handles, reflecting the era's preference for asymmetry and playful ornamentation. The handles are adorned with a coat of arms, suggesting they were commissioned for a specific individual or family. The spoons, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are a testament to the artistry and opulence of 18th-century French silverware.
