Rare French Louis XVI style gold plated Bronze dry goods shovel/coffee bean shovel with sterling silver handle

Rare French Louis XVI style gold plated Bronze dry goods shovel/coffee bean shovel with sterling silver handle This is a very rare French sterling silver cutlery, designed in the Louis XVI style. The handle is made of sterling silver with the French sterling silver Minerva seal, and the shovel surface is Bronze plated with gold. Its main use should be to shovel dry food. The shape of the spatula's usable surface is different from our current pot spatulas in that the middle of the spatula is concave, which makes it easier to scoop up arc-shaped dry goods such as nuts, coffee beans, etc. This kind of tableware is very rare. It is the first time I have found such an item. It is very precious and worth collecting and using. Year: circa 1870 size: Total length 24.6cm Shovel surface 8.7x7.7cm It is in good condition and can be used normally. There are signs of use and oxidation on the shovel surface. There is a little friction in the upper left corner, showing the color of flavonoids, but because the colors are similar, it is not easy to see. Old items are bound to have signs of use. Only buy if you can accept it.
