10 Antique Turkish Silver Engraved Tea Coffee Spoons
Regular price
$792.00
Presented is a fine set of 10 Turkish silver teaspoons. The teaspoons have a nice design with a cartouche at the top and elegant wavy engraving along the handle. The spoons are well made and quite heavy. Two of the spoons have a different pattern than the rest, and two other spoons are monogrammed with the initials VU. Eight of the spoons have never been monogrammed. I do not know exactly when the spoons were made, but I suspect in the late 1800s.
The spoons are hallmarked on the handles with the Turkish tourgha mark on the front and the assay test mark on the reverse. We have tested them with nitric acid and guarantee to be a minimum of 800 purity silver.
The condition is excellent. There are no dents, no dings, no splits, no monogram removals, no breaks, and no repairs.
The spoons are 6 1/4 inches long.
The weight is 331.9 grams or 11.71 ounces.
