This silverplated demitasse spoon was made by Victor Silver Co. — the hotelware mark of Derby Silver / International Silver — for the Waldorf Astoria in New York. It dates to 1932, the year the iconic Art Deco tower opened on Park Avenue. It is engraved with the hotel's name and carries the weight of one of the greatest addresses in American hospitality history. Tiny, precise, and improbably elegant — exactly what you'd expect from a place that invented the Waldorf salad and the room service cart.
A rare hotelware collectible, a piece of New York legend, or a singular gift for someone who treasures the beautiful remnants of vanished grandeur.
