Silver Table Spoons – Belgium, Delheid Frères

Six large table spoons in the Empire style, produced by the renowned Brussels silversmithing firm Delheid Frères in the mid-20th century. The material is silver of 800/1000 and 835/1000 fineness, as documented by a certificate issued by the Czech Assay Office.

The Brussels silversmithing firm Delheid was founded around 1828 and gradually established itself as a prominent Belgian producer of domestic silverware. In 1862, the founder’s sons took over the business and adopted the name Delheid Frères, registering a new maker’s mark – a capital letter D with a serpent (usually below the letter, sometimes above). The company specialized in table and household silver, often produced in historicist styles. Delheid Frères achieved international recognition in the 1930s through its Art Deco designs and remained active until the early 1980s.
