Nothing beats holding a quality silver spoon while enjoying a bowl of warm soup. Silver plated flatware has a lustrous and elegant appearance. This set of 8 French antique, silver-plated soup spoons is beautifully decorated on the front and back. I would date the design to the early 20th century, perhaps 1910.

You’ll find several marks, including the weight and maker’s mark - SFAM - on the back stem. Founded in 1894, Société Française d’Alliage des Métaux was a prominent French silver-plate and metal tableware manufacturer in Méru / Bornel in the Oise region of France. They produced flatware for homes, fine restaurants, hotels, and ocean liners.

This set is in very good, authentic condition with signs of use over the past century.

While French flatware is perfect for the holidays, it needs to be enjoyed every day. It adds an elegant touch to a simple table setting and can be paired with your favorite ironstone transferware dishes or simple contemporary ceramics.

You desire a timeless addition to your dining experience.

I recommend only hand-washing with a gentle soap and a soft cloth.

The length is a generous 8 ½ inches (22 cm)
