ABOUT PRODUCTID 19950
This set of five coffee spoons from 1930s Britain is a precise reflection of Art Deco aesthetics, balancing form and material with clarity. Each spoon is crafted from silver-plated brass with a cool, mirror-like finish; the handles are slender and straight, ending in a small, rounded Bakelite coffee bean motif in black. The set is housed in its original rectangular case, featuring a dark brown textured exterior and gold-colored clasps. Inside, black velvet and ruched cream satin create a graphic contrast, underscoring the period's focus on material interplay and meticulous detail. The condition is very good, with no visible signs of wear, tarnish, or scratches on either the spoons or the case.Within these objects resonates the spirit of interwar optimism, when even daily rituals—such as coffee drinking—became an arena for geometric experimentation.

It would suit a minimalist kitchen, emphasizing geometric forms, or a collector's living room among other Art Deco pieces. Consider pairing it with a classic silver sugar bowl or a liqueur decanter for a cohesive
