Museum Quality Imperial Russia / Finnish Art Nouveau 813H Silver Sifter Spoon by Gustaf Lindell (Kustaa Hiekka) – Tampere, 1901 – Gilded Shell Bowl

An exceptional, museum-grade Art Nouveau (Secessionist) silver sifter/tea strainer spoon, crafted in 1901 in Tampere, Finland, during the Russian Imperial era. This exquisite piece was made in the renowned workshop of Gustaf Lindell, under the direction of the legendary Finnish master goldsmith and philanthropist Kustaa Hiekka (1855–1937). Pieces from this specific early period of his career are highly sought after by collectors of Imperial Russian and Nordic silverware.

Design & Craftsmanship:
