Oslo Norway Prestigious David-Andersen Workshop Set of Two Arts and Crafts Dragestil Spoons, .830 Sterling Silver Hand Hammered Serving Spoons, 132g, Dated 1922

This exceptional set of two antique Norwegian silver serving spoons comes from the prestigious workshop of David-Andersen in Oslo, a name synonymous with the highest quality of Scandinavian silversmithing. These pieces are hallmarked with the maker’s mark and the Norwegian silver standard of 830S, alongside the specific date letter L which definitively marks their production to the year 1922. Representing the height of the Arts and Crafts movement, these spoons feature the celebrated Dragestil or Dragon Style motifs, characterized by the intricate cast scrollwork handles and a luminous hand-hammered finish that reflects light beautifully across the bowls.

The set includes two distinct sizes perfect for a variety of service needs. The larger serving spoon measures 8.5 inches in length with a 2.75-inch bowl width, while the smaller berry or cream spoon measures 6.875 inches in length with a 2.125-inch bowl width. Together, these pieces have a substantial combined weight of 132 grams, providing a heavy, high-quality feel that is characteristic of early 20th-century David-Andersen craftsmanship. The visible hammer marks across the silver surface serve as a testament to the traditional artisan techniques used over a century ago.

These spoons remain in excellent antique condition and have been well-preserved for over 100 years. They possess a rich, natural patina that highlights the depth of the ornate handle designs and the rustic texture of the hammered silver. Whether as a centerpiece for a fine silver collection or as functional heirlooms for a holiday table, these 1922 David-Andersen spoons offer a rare opportunity to own a verified piece of Norwegian design history.
