1802-39 Stephen Richard Fiddle Pattern Coin Silver Tablespoon by NYC Silversmith
$160.00
Offered here is an extremely scarce Stephen Richard of New York City coin silver fiddleback tablespoon engraved with a period monogram 'AAH'. This spoon was hand made in the 19th century of solid sterling silver. Reverse is stamped "S. Richard" in a fitted cartouche [Reference: Belden]. Condition is good with minor patina and surface scratching typical of a piece of this age. Some minor tip wear. This is an extremely heavy gauge spoon on par with the best of American coin silver spoons. Would make an especially fine gift!
A pair of tongs by Richard is in the collection of the Yale University Art Gallery [Accession #: 1994.87.150]
Dimensions: 9" and about 87 grams.
