Description: A set of 12 Dutch silver grapefruit spoons (lemoenlepels), all in excellent condition, in original custom made mahogany box with inlaid marquetry on the lid, this is a well made, good quality and attractive box. The spoons were made in Amsterdam in 1807 by Paulus Esink, the spoons are thread pattern, with elongated bowls with sharp tips, and a triangular drop attaching the bowls to the handles. All 12 spoons are clearly hallmarked with makers mark PE, and Amsterdam town mark above date letter Y for 1807, some of the townmarks and date letters have some wear. Paulus Esink worked between 1788 and 1811. The box has it's original key, the lock still works, the wooden lid has a slight warp so you have to push down to enable it to lock. The box has 12 slots on both sides, the spoons fit exactly so cannot move about, this has helped preserve them in such wonderful condition, they could not be better. The spoons are suspended 2 cm above the base, so other items could also be stored in the box. Note - We also have a caddy spoon by Paulus Esink, S 11593.
