Anton Rasmussen was a goldsmith based in Odense, Denmark, as indicated by the inscription on the box. Danish silversmiths have a long and esteemed tradition, particularly from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, known for their high-quality craftsmanship and elegant designs. Such sets of spoons were often commissioned for special occasions or as part of a larger silverware collection. These spoons, with their detailed handles featuring twisted stems and decorative elements, are characteristic of the craftsmanship prevalent during the Art Nouveau or late Victorian eras. The presence of the original box from a specific goldsmith adds to their collectible value, suggesting a provenance and a connection to a particular artisan or establishment.Per Curio App: estimate this set of six silver spoons to be valued between $200-$400 USD.
These belonged to my great grandmother who immigrated to New York in early 1900s. Still in original box wrapped in original cotton. Have not been used in over 75 years!
