Omar Ramsden Sterling Silver Arts & Crafts Spoon London 1929 | 66g

A rare opportunity to acquire an original Omar Ramsden sterling silver spoon, hallmarked for London and dating from the height of the British Arts & Crafts movement. Omar Ramsden (1873–1939) is regarded as one of Britain's greatest twentieth-century silversmiths. His work is represented in major museum collections and is admired for its exceptional craftsmanship, sculptural quality and unmistakable hand-finished decoration inspired by medieval and natural forms. This impressive example features a richly sculpted stem decorated with flowing berries, leaves and scrolling foliage, terminating in a distinctive six-point crown-like knop. The deep relief and exceptional modelling give the spoon an almost sculptural presence and demonstrate the quality of Ramsden's workshop at its finest. At 66 grams, this is a particularly substantial example and one that displays the confidence and individuality for which Omar Ramsden's work is celebrated.
