Dessert set comprising a spoon and a fork in silver-plated metal, the lower part of the handle decorated with a relief motif depicting stylised poppy seed heads encircled openwork stems, England, late 19th century.
Beyond the very fine treatment of the handles, it is worth noting that the spoon features a hand-hammered bowl, bearing witness to careful craftsmanship in these pieces with a distinctly Arts & Crafts spirit.
