Lot #50: Antique Dutch Folk Art Silver 'Monkey' Spoon

Starting bidding

$1.00

Time Remaining:

Bidding starts in 0d 4h 27m

This antique Dutch silver spoon is sometimes referred to as a "monkey spoon", a hand made spoon from the mid 1700's to 1900 that was created to celebrate weddings and to honor those who died. Its primary use was to serve a popular rum and raisin toddy. Typical of these unusual spoons, it has a hook on the end to hang from the edge of a bowl, a large scoop with a repousse image of a woman in traditional dress, a raised decorative medallion on the handle, and a figural finial at the end. The latter is particularly interesting and is identified as the "Weigher of Souls" based on a concept that the Angel Michael is presumed to be at a deathbed acting to protect the soul of the dying from Satan and eventually presenting them to God. This intriguing spoon has Dutch hallmarks and tested as high grade solid silver. The three dimensional spoon is 6 1/4 inches long, 2 1/2 inches across and weighs 33 grams. It is in excellent antique condition. Shipping within Canada is available on this lot. Please see Auction Pickup information Tab for details. Pickup category timeslot {A}
