EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning set of cutlery from the 15th century, captured in an etching by T Charbonnier in 1881. The spoon and fork are believed to have been crafted in Flanders, possibly during the Flemish period. Both utensils feature exquisite enamelled knobs adorned with lustrous pearls, while the spoon boasts an additional garnet gemstone. The rock-crystal and silver gilt composition of these artifacts exudes elegance and sophistication. Their intricate design is masterfully depicted in this black-and-white image, highlighting every delicate detail of their craftsmanship. This print originates from "The South Kensington Museum" a renowned collection that later became known as the Victoria & Albert Museum in London. T Charbonnier's engraving skillfully captures the beauty and historical significance of these precious items. The fusion of metalwork, jewelry-making techniques, and semi-precious stones exemplifies the artistry prevalent during both the 15th century when they were created and the 19th century when this print was produced. As we admire this remarkable piece through time's lens, we are transported back to an era where functional objects were transformed into works of art. It serves as a testament to human creativity throughout history and reminds us of our enduring fascination with beauty even within everyday objects like spoons and forks.
