Spoon - .875 (84 Zolotniki) silver - Enamel

Russian silver spoon, richly decorated with finely engraved floral and foliate motifs highlighted in niello, creating the characteristic dark contrast against the silver surface.

The decoration extends across both the bowl and handle, with stylised flowers, scrolling foliage and finely engraved borders. The restrained form combined with the blackened ornament is characteristic of Russian niello silverwork, a decorative tradition particularly associated with Russian silver objects of the 19th and early 20th centuries.
