- Lot Description
Northern Europe, Norway, ca. late 19th to early 20th century CE. A beautiful group of 6 gilt silver spoons with guilloche enamel work. One, with deep red guilloche on the back of the bowl and most of the length of the handle and accompanying white cloisonne, has a makers mark for David-Anderson from the 1888 to 1925 period. A cerulean blue one of similar style, but with a rounder bowl and more elaborate design, is also stamped with a maker mark for N. M. Thune. The other four, all smaller, with rampart lions that indicate Norway. The three largest are stamped 925 for the assay of the silver. Size of largest (red): 5.3" L x 1.3" W (13.5 cm x 3.3 cm); silver quality: 88% to 92%; total weight: 109.7 grams
Guilloche is formed by engraving a pattern in silver, then layering translucent or iridescent enamel on it and firing it so that the pattern of engraving remains visible. This style was used by silversmiths in Russia during its flourishing Silver Age and artisans in other parts of Europe - notably Norway - also used it.
