AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Authentic French solid silver serving spoon, made in Paris during the Restoration period.
The spoon bears two official French state hallmarks:
the Vieillard head in octagonal cartouche (used 1819–1838), indicating first standard silver (950/1000),
a circular auxiliary control mark, consistent with the same period.
The diamond-shaped maker’s mark “B·C”, accompanied by two birds, is attributed to Basile Chenailler, Parisian silversmith, registered in 1807 and struck off in 1824.
This allows a precise dating of the piece to 1819–1824.
Elegant early 19th-century French form, high-quality workmanship, well-balanced proportions.
Preserved in excellent, polished condition, with clear and legible marks.
