Framed Display of 14 Antique French Absinthe Spoons - 25¼" x 13¾"

A framed display of 14 antique absinthe spoons, arranged on a black wooden board with a simple molded frame, the metal glinting softly against the dark surface. The collection mixes iron, pewter, and silver plated examples, many with pierced leaf motifs and cutwork lettering, including Berger and Picon advertising types. Originating in France, late 19th to early 20th century, these spoons once cradled a sugar cube over the glass as chilled water slowly dissolved it into the spirit.

Mounted as wall art, this graphic array brings a refined note to a home bar, dining room, or kitchen, pairing beautifully with crystal stemware, marble, and dark wood. It reads as a single statement piece, yet rewards close inspection with varied patterns and layers of history, adding visual interest and subtle shimmer. Ideal above a bar cart or dining sideboard, it lends a quiet sense of ritual to contemporary entertaining.

Condition and patina consistent with age.
