"Taillepied : Rare 18th Century Solid Silver Sugar Sifter Spoon Mod. Filets Coquilles Paris 1772"

Rare Louis XV period solid silver sugar sifter spoon, shell fillet pattern. Spatula engraved with a mavelot highlighted with foliage, all topped with a so-called Bridal Crown. Spoon with magnificent pierced decoration articulated around a central rosette of tears and tulips. Charge (crowned and fleuron A) and Discharge (helmeted head in profile) hallmarks for PARIS 1768-74, Jurande hallmark for PARIS 1772 (Crowned I) and Hallmark of Master Goldsmith Louis-Antoine TAILLEPIED (hallmark with crowned fleur-de-lys, two remedy grains, his initials "LAT' and a foot) received in 1760. This Louis XV period sugar sifter spoon in the rare shell fillet model is in very good condition and remarkably hallmarked, micro-scratches from use. To discover through the attached photos ...

A TAILLEPIED sugar sifter spoon in the simple fillet model (unlike our example of the shell fillet model) appears on page 144 in the reference book by Mr Bilgi Kenber on 18th century sugar spoons.
