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.
