This set of 12 silver spoons, crafted in the Austrian Empire during the first half of the 19th century, exemplifies the refined artistry of the Biedermeier period. Each spoon was formed from historical Austrian silver coins, granting every piece a unique numismatic character. The handles are flat, elongated, and rectangular with softly rounded ends, while the smooth transition to the bowl highlights the purity and restraint of the design. Their soft, matte-satin silver surfaces display age-appropriate scratches and a natural historic patina; subtle traces of original coin reliefs further distinguish each spoon. The set is entirely authentic, with no visible repairs or modern alterations, and features clear 12-lot (750) silver marks and the silversmith's initials. The listed price applies to the complete set of 12 pieces.
