19th C Antique French Sterling Silver and Brass ASPARAGUS Server
A large and heavy asparagus server from late 19th century France! The handle is sterling (filled), and the scoop is nicely etched brass. The handle bears a Minerve 1 guarantee for .950 silver purity. There seems to be no maker's mark.
The handle is decorated with a shell motif, similar to fiddle, thread and shell. The brass is etched in an ornate style we associate with the Napoleon III and Victorian periods.
Length of the server is just under 10 inches. Total weight is 147 grams. Excellent condition with no damage. Please see the large images for details.
