ABOUT PRODUCTID 3542
This Biedermeier tea strainer spoon, crafted in Vienna between 1806 and 1866, exemplifies refined early 19th-century silversmithing. The bowl is shaped as an oak leaf, with intricately rendered veins and softly undulating edges, finished in an even, warm-toned gilding that lends a subtle luster. A small sculpted silver detail, resembling a twig, marks the transition from bowl to handle, reinforcing the organic, nature-inspired character of the piece. The handle itself is made from noble, creamy bone with a matte surface and a gently tapering, rectangular profile for comfortable grip. Length: 15.4 cm, width: 4 cm, weight: 14 g. The condition is very good—no damage, cracks, or visible signs of heavy use. The spoon’s form is an echo of the Biedermeier era: a period when everyday objects drew from nature’s motifs and celebrated the beauty of subtle detail. Silver, shaped into an oak leaf, seems to whisper the stories of Viennese salons where tea was served with quiet ritual and the play of light upon gilded metal. The bone handle adds a discreet note, while the small silver accent at the junction recalls the artisan’s quest for harmony between utility and organic form. This spoon could be an accent in a collection of antique tableware or a delicate detail atop a console in a classically styled living room. It may be paired with porcelain featuring floral motifs or sepia-toned glass to highlight its historical provenance. The piece also fits into interiors inspired by the Biedermeier style, surrounded by furniture with
