A rare matched set of six spoons in their original tooled leather case. The spoons were made by Robert Wilson (1766-1824) in New York City, ca. 1803-10. Each is marked "RW" and have crests decorated with a vertical elliptical design surrounding the initials " JVB" above a cascade of bell flowers. I guess it is an Old English Pattern- so-called... the shape is pure American Federal.
Condition: Very fine antique condition. Light dinging on the bowls.
