A gorgeous pair of antique silver plated perforated serving or sugar spoons in the shape of a shells. They are a pair with the same hallmark and the same design on the handles,
 
Made by Paris silversmith, A Boulenger from rue de Vert-Bois in Paris, the silver plate mark dates them between 1869 and 1898, they join the Quintessentially French Prestige Collection.
 
They are patinated with age and use, this emphasises the detail and quality of these pieces. I have left them in as found condition for you to choose whether to polish or not.
 
The larger scallop shell is 9" long by 3" diameter for the shell part of the spoon and the smaller, deeper bowled spoon measures 8" by 2.5"
