Moscow Niello Spoon

[numis.geneve]

Dear All,

I have bought this spoon a few days ago, for what I thought was a great deal; but now I am a bit worried because one of my other purchases "faberge fork" was deemed fake by Mr. Zolotnik.I would like to hear your opinions about this object, on it's authenticity and who is the manufacturer. Thank you

Hi numis.geneve -

congratulations again - your spoon is also authentic. Assayed by A. Romanow in Moscow, made by wellknown spoon maker (umong other things) Semenow, Wasilij.

Here the different marks of him:

Hi all -

some other sets from my collection - they exist in different qualities and designs - but are always nice and very decorative.
