AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Complete set of twelve Art Nouveau teaspoons, made of first-grade silver (925). The spoons are partially gilded: the twisted stem and the ornament are gilded, creating a beautiful contrast with the silver bowl. The spoons are crafted using the high-quality plaque-à-jour technique (window enamel), where the transparent enamel is set in an open filigree structure without a background. This creates a translucent effect similar to stained glass.
The spoons feature a twisted handle and an openwork top piece with a multicolored floral motif. The specific composition of the filigree work and the use of decorative volutes (scroll embellishments) are characteristic of Norwegian silver production from the early 20th century. Based on these stylistic elements and the quality of finish, the set can be attributed to one of the leading Norwegian ateliers, such as Marius Hammer (Bergen, probably) or David Andersen (Oslo, possibly).
The set is in the original cassette with the imprint of Juwelier C.P. 't Hart (The Hague), who may have imported the set.
