This absolutely beautiful model is characterized by very refined Art Nouveau lines and ornaments.
The lanceolate spatulas extend into a delicately faceted stem that joins the spoons with a four-leaf clover motif.
The purity of the shapes, the softness of the lines and its general purely Art Nouveau design make it a masterpiece of this period, characteristic of the talent of Alphonse Debain.
Each piece is hallmarked:
. Minerva 1st title before 1973
. Goldsmith's mark: AD with a woodcock for Alphonse Debain.
Alphonse Debain is the heir to a family of goldsmiths established since 1847. He had his hallmark engraved in 1883 and received a gold medal at the Universal Exhibition in 1889. An exceptional teapot by his hand is kept at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris.
Superb spoons of an apparent simplicity that reveals a perfect mastery of design and the codes of Art Nouveau.
