Antique French Silver Plate Spoon Set

Antique French Silver-Plated Spoon Set (Set of 6)
Length: approx. 5.5”

A set of six antique French silver-plated spoons with softly oval bowls and elegant ribbed handles finished with delicate floral detailing. Nicely balanced in hand, these are well suited for tea, coffee, or dessert service.

Silver-plated flatware became widely popular in the 19th century, offering the look and refinement of solid silver through electroplating techniques applied to a base metal. This innovation made decorative tableware more accessible while still allowing for finely worked designs.

The combination of linear handle ribs and bow motifs reflects 19th-century French taste, where classical ornament was softened and adapted for everyday use. Pieces like these were commonly part of larger table services and intended for both everyday use and more formal entertaining.
