Russian Imperial Silver Spoon – 84 Zolotnik & Later 875 Mark – 19th / Early 20th Century An authentic antique Russian silver spoon originating from the Imperial period, originally crafted in the traditional 84 zolotnik silver standard (875/1000). The spoon later received an additional 875 silver hallmark (Estonian control mark), indicating it was officially re-assayed in a later period. Such dual markings are not uncommon and reflect the historical transitions in the Baltic region after the fall of the Russian Empire. The piece features a refined twisted handle and an engraved monogram on the bowl, adding a personal and collectible character.
