Silver fork featuring a handle adorned with foliage and an angel’s head, surmounted by an allegory of Charity.
Four-pronged fork supported by a rat-tail handle.
Dated 1779 and monogrammed P.R.
No visible hallmarks, however, the workmanship is comparable of Julianus Buissink, master silversmith from the city of Leeuwarden.
Very good condition.
