AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Massive-silver luster spoon for sprinkling with the Minerve hallmark and a master goldsmith’s mark from BENOIT et LANOS, consisting of a triangle in which the goldsmith’s name and a bee appear. The handle is chiseled with a constellation of stars, and the bowl is delicately cut with vegetal arabesques at the center of which sits a medallion adorned with a bouquet of flowers. This abundant and exuberant ornamentation is typical of the Second Empire.
