This marvelous Pierre Queille Louis Philippe style soup or punch ladle is created in gorgeous 950 sterling silver with gilt overlay and niello inlay. The workmanship is exquisite with floral tendrils on the front upper handle, as well as the back handle and bowl. There is an intricately engraved background under the niello design. Niello is a black mixture, usually of sulphur, copper and silver, used as an inlay on engraved or etched metal, especially silver. It is added as a powder or past, then fired until it melts and flows into the engraved lines in the metal.

This beautiful ladle has been well cared for, gently used and is in excellent antique condition.
