18th Century French .950 Silver Platter Spoon, made in Montpellier, France

Crafted circa 1780 in Montpellier, France, this 12‑inch platter spoon is fashioned from .950 fine silver, its unbuffed “honest” surface whispering tales of two centuries of use through soft hammer‑and‑chisel textures and a warm, natural patina. Free of monogram or ornament, its gracious proportions celebrate the pure elegance of late‑Enlightenment provincial silversmithing, making it a versatile treasure—equally striking as a displayed conversation piece or as an artful vessel for hors d’oeuvres. In its unaltered state, every gently worn edge and subtle nuance endures, inviting you to share in its storied charm and time‑honored craftsmanship.
