Two sets of six art deco gilded sterling silver and enamel coffee spoons, with seal top finials. The gilding is a deep yellow colour, which provides a lovely contrast to the enamel. In one set (a), the back of the spoon bowls are beautifully decorated with fan shaped guilloche enamel, in 6 different bold colours (green, red, yellow, purple and light and dark blue). In the other set (b), the back of the spoon bowls are decorated with flowers on a white enamel background.

The hallmarks on all 12 spoons are clear, including makers mark 'SLd' for William Suckling Ltd, who worked between 1922 and 1955. In original boxes.
