ESTATE FRESH!
Very Early Large Silver Spoon Believed Roman!
I have been collecting/dealing in Antiques and Collectibles for well over 45 years. Most of the treasures that I acquire are direct from estates or houses. Over the time that I have been been doing this I have ended up setting aside items that were either of specific interest to me or that I felt were especially "unique and eclectic". This has ended up with my having a rather extensive "personal" collection. I am now at a point in my life that I have to limit this addiction and in fact actually downsize my "collection(s)!" I suggest that you consider adding me to your list of sellers that you follow as I will be offering many "decommissioned" treasures as well as the extensive new acquisitions that I continue to pursue in my semi-retirement!
Those of you that follow my listings have noted that many of my descriptions include historical background. I do this in the hope that it will inspire many, with emphasis being focused on the younger generations towards reviving interest in our heritage and the artistic creativity of our forefathers. All of us have a rich history in common. This is something that we should be curious and proud of! I also invite any and all questions that interested parties may have. It gives me the opportunity to pass on many years of experience. That is what it is all about!
A very interesting spoon that has been sitting on my desk since I came across it about a month ago. I have been attempting research on and off over that period of time and will gladly accept any input or thoughts that you may have.
My current belief is that it is from from Roman times and is Roman in origin. The construction, ornate decoration, and Roman profile at the top leads me to this belief. The spoon is approximately 7½" long with an approximate 1¾" x 2½" x ½" deep bowl. It is of unknown silver content that does polish from finger wiping. Its weight is 2.115 troy ounces.

is in good to very good condition. Please super size the listing images to view the condition in closer detail!
