Spoon, silver-plated, France, 19th century

This exquisite 19th-century French sugar sifter spoon, crafted from silver-plated metal, is a remarkable example of elegant tableware from the period. Its gracefully curved handle features a delicate twist, adding both visual interest and ergonomic charm. The rounded bowl is pierced with small, finely placed holes—ideal not only for dusting sugar over fruit and pastries but also for straining loose-leaf tea, making it a versatile addition to any refined setting.

The handle is adorned with subtle Art Nouveau motifs, reflecting the flowing, organic lines that characterized this design movement at the turn of the century. Sifters like this were part of a growing domestic tradition in the 1800s, when the availability of refined sugar led to a rise in specialized serving utensils for desserts and sweetened foods. Today, antique sugar sifters of this quality are increasingly difficult to find, particularly those with such refined detailing and practical usability.

This rare and beautifully preserved piece is offered at an attractive price given its age, craftsmanship, and stylistic heritage. It remains in good antique condition, with mild surface patina consistent with its time, further enhancing its authenticity and charm.
