ONLINE AUCTION OF FURNITURE AND COLLECTABLES INCLUDING POTTERY WARE
Lot 226:
A Collection of Sterling Silver Handled Utensils and Tools, including Button Hooks and Shoehorns
Description
A collection of approximately 18 specialized utensils and tools, many with sterling silver handles. The collection includes various forms such as small spatulas, several long-handled instruments with hooked or pointed ends (resembling dental picks or specialized culinary tools), and a few larger, flat-bladed implements (possibly shoehorns). Many pieces feature highly ornate, scrolled, and repoussé decorated handles, suggesting a Rococo or Victorian aesthetic. The handles are crafted from a silver-toned metal, likely sterling silver or silver plate, while others have simpler, polished handles and appear to have steel blades. A handwritten note indicates the reddish-orange plastic tray is not included in the sale.
