1760–1780 Richard Lang of Salem Coin Silver Dessert Spoon

$260.00
A well worn 1760-1780 dessert spoon by Richard Lang of Salem, MA. Stamped 'I Lang', and monogrammed in period script for 'M*L'. This spoon features an slightly downturned handle and a paddle form terminal. A beautiful scallop on the bowl reverse. Heavy wear on this piece with a damaged bowl tip (should be more elongated). Lang was the son of Salem's first silversmith. Weight: 52 grams. 7.5" Examples seem very scarce for this maker. Another teaspoon is known at Yale University Art Gallery.
