Wood and Hughes
An extraordinary antique sterling silver berry serving spoon by Wood Hughes, circa 1865. This exceptional piece showcases the remarkable artistry and imaginative designs for which 19th-century American silversmiths are celebrated.
The unique leaf-shaped bowl features beautifully sculpted veining, a stippled interior, and graceful contours inspired by nature. Measuring an impressive 11 1/2 inches long, the spoon has an elegant, slender ribbed stem leading to an elaborate three-dimensional figural handle depicting a beautifully dressed woman in flowing Victorian attire, resting against a textured leaf.
The combination of naturalistic botanical elements and intricate sculptural detailing make this a particularly distinctive example of Victorian sterling silver. The reverse features an engraved period monogram, and this piece it is in good vintage condition. Museum quality.
