Welcome to Antiques & Moore! This listing is for a nice Estate Reed & Barton ” Francis I” Sterling Silver bon-bon spoon. The lovely “Francis I” pattern was designed by Ernest Meyer for Reed & Barton in 1906. “Francis I” is one of the most desirable silver flatware patterns ever produced with its elaborate Acanthus & Fruit design on the handle. Measures 4 3/4″ long with the bowl end being 1 7/8″ wide. The spoon is in excellent Estate condition and is marked “Reed & Barton” and “Sterling”. Ernest Meyer was a brilliant French designer and created the “Francis First” pattern with the goal of rivaling the beauty and opulence of the silver created by the great Italian Renaissance silversmiths for the French Court of Francis I. The pattern consists of fifteen different designs and the creative process took three years to complete. Francis I was introduced in 1906 and was an immediate success with Royalty from all over the world purchasing this silver. The continuing popularity of Francis I Sterling Silver led to a demand for matching service pieces and Reed & Barton over the years have created over 100 matching hollowware pieces and the addition of a silver plate line marketed as King Francis. Francis I is also my own silver pattern and since we are currently downsizing, my personal collection will also be offered for sale. Here’s your chance to add to your collection at reasonable prices.
