Monkey spoons were popular gifts for births, christenings, new
homes and weddings. The little animal on the top of the handle
?often a monkey, but in this case a dog?is for hanging. Below
the hanger, is a seraph.
The round bowl of this spoon depicts Saint Nicholas.
<p>The series of British hallmarks dates this sterling (lion mark)
spoon to 1898 (C) when it was imported (F) by a London
silversmith (leopard head) for resale. There are additional
hallmarks on the handle which we cannot identify. Possibly
Dutch.
<p>Measure 5 inches long, 2-1/2 diameter bowl.
<p>Very good overall condition. No dings, dents, repairs or
other damage. Some light wear. Sorry some of the photos are
out of focus.
<p>Please see our inventory for more sterling and continental
silver items as well as fine antiques of all kinds.
