Delicate Antique French Silver Sugar Sifter Spoon By A Thery

A Lovely and Delicate Antique French Silver Sugar Sifter Spoon by ‘Maitre Orfèvre’ Antoine THERY.

The bowl of the spoon is in a beautiful ‘reperce’ motif showing a Rose Window cut out.
The spoon bowl links to the handle with a light engraved décor of dots and scrolls as well as towards the end of the handle by a tulip chute.
The Handle also shows a monogram of an H and a P.

The work is extremely refined and the piece is in great condition.
It is just a lovely design. Typical of the early part of the 18th century.
Lovely to use to sprinkle sugar over fresh strawberries per example!

The width given above is that of the spoon’s bowl.
