This Swedish pickle spoon from the late 19th century exemplifies Scandinavian craftsmanship, blending simplicity with subtle ornamentation. The bowl is made of 830 silver, bearing the three-crown Swedish hallmark and the silversmith's initials 'FN'. The silver component features a warm, slightly yellowish patina, a glossy finish, and hand-engraved starburst detailing radiating from the center of the shallow, wide bowl edged with gentle scalloping. The handle is crafted from turned wood in a medium brown shade, displaying visible grain and a matte, softly worn surface. A silver ferrule with fine ringed detailing transitions between the metal and wood, creating visual cohesion. Measuring 22 cm in length, 6 cm in diameter, 3.5 cm in height, and weighing 28 g, the spoon offers a comfortable grip and practical proportions for serving pickles. The condition is very good: the wood shows minor signs of age and a gentle patina, while the silver remains lustrous with minimal tarnish and crisp decorative work.The form of this spoon tells the story of 19th-century Scandinavia, where functional design met refined ornament. Each engraved line speaks of the silversmith’s skill, while the muted palette and natural materials evoke evenings around the communal table. This object seems to whisper tales of historic households, in which utensils were not merely tools but also symbols of craftsmanship and local pride.The spoon could be paired with other 19th-century table accessories—such as silver or porcelain serving dishes—for a cohesive, period-authentic serving set.
