Shiebler 'Flora' Pattern Narcissus Antique Sterling Silver Large Berry Spoon, NYC, c. 1890

The company of George Shiebler produced fantastic designs, including the rare and distinctive flatware pattern Flora, with different flowers on each piece. This large serving spoon is very impressive, with large, exotic representations of narcissus on the front of the handle against a textured background. The large bowl has a matte finish and is covered on both sides with its original gilding.
