AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Frédéric Schuler Strasbourg - Sugar Sifter Spoon - 800 Silver Vermeil - c. 1830
Antique sugar sifter spoon / cuillère à saupoudrer, made in Strasbourg, France, in the first half of the 19th century by the silversmith Frédéric Schuler.
The spoon is crafted in 800/1000 silver and retains its old gilded finish (vermeil). Its most striking feature is the large, finely pierced shell-shaped bowl, designed for sprinkling powdered sugar over fruit, pastries and desserts. Sugar sifter spoons of this type were part of refined European table culture during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
The piece is marked with several historic hallmarks:
- rectangular “SCHULER” maker’s stamp
- Frédéric Schuler’s master mark, consisting of the letter S with a hunting horn
- French departmental silver guarantee and standard marks
- second silver standard, corresponding to 800/1000 silver
The French control marks are consistent with the period 1819–1838, allowing the spoon to be dated to approximately 1830.
Frédéric Schuler is documented as a Strasbourg gold- and silversmith (orfèvre) active during the first half of the 19th century. His maker’s mark and the additional SCHULER stamp are known from documented Strasbourg silver objects.
