Spoon

Theodore B. Starr American

Not on view

In 1877, following his 13-year partnership with the German-born jeweler and silversmith Herman Marcus, Theodore B. Starr (1837–1907) established his own luxury goods store at 206 Fifth Avenue, near Madison Square, in a highly fashionable neighborhood. An article published in the New York Times on December 20, 1890, declared that "Starr’s establishment… has no duplicate in this country, and probably not in the world." Among the wares produced by the firm were silver spoons in historical revival styles. The present examples, with their interlaced Celtic motifs, resemble spoons designed by Archibald Knox for Liberty & Company, London, produced to commemorate the coronation of Edward VII in 1902.
