ABOUT PRODUCTID 12449
This Swedish salt spoon from the 1930s is crafted from silver-plated brass, featuring a slender, elongated handle that tapers gracefully towards the bowl. The terminal is softly rounded with a subtle heart-shaped motif outlined by fine contour engraving. The bowl’s interior displays an elegant patina and reveals glimpses of the underlying golden-brass tone where the silver plating has worn thin. Its matte finish, together with fine scratches and spots of oxidation, highlights the object’s vintage heritage. The handle is distinguished by an engraved monogram, while the joint with the bowl is subtly fluted, reflecting the precision of Scandinavian interwar craftsmanship. Defined lines running along the handle mirror the rational rhythm of Swedish functionalism. The overall condition is very good, with only minor signs of use – the original patina has been preserved.This unassuming spoon tells the story of an era when restraint in design was synonymous with reverence for everyday rituals. Its muted sheen and characterful wear evoke images of early 20th-century table settings, where function and beauty were seamlessly united. The engraved monogram hints at domestic narratives long since passed, while the handle’s thoughtful lines echo the Scandinavian ethos of functional poetry. Far from diminishing, the patina and subtle discoloration amplify its authenticity, serving as gentle reminders of a piece that has withstood shifting trends and generations of use.The spoon could be paired with a simple Nordic salt bowl or set atop a bleached wooden tray,
