Hi,

This is Paris, 1797-1809. The makersmark I could not find in my books. I found one mark EDP in that period for an onknown maker in Chaumont en Haute Marne (but this spoon is marked Paris) and a Paris maker EPD (a hart under fleur de lys, Etienne Profit Delage), but he died in 1793.
There is a book that I am looking for for a long time, but do not own, where this master shoud be listed: Dictionnaire Des Poincons De Fabricants D'ouvrages D'or Et D'argent De Paris Et De La Seine, 1798-1838 by Catherine Arminjon, Inventaire general des monuments et des richesses artistiques de la France, James Beaupuis, Michele Bilimoff (1991). I sure hope that the content of this book will be once published on the silver forum.

Regards,

Zilverik

Arminjon attributes this mark to Edme Dupont, flatware maker working at 2, rue de Jérusalem in Paris. Dupont first registered his mark on 17 brumaire an V of the French republican calendar (7 November 1796). His symbol was a lilac flower.
