Christofle - Antique soup spoon in model "Filet Violon / Filet Ancien

A large soup ladle from Christofle in model "Filet Violon". This soup ladle is very old (between 1845-1870) and still in the old version of the heart fillet model, which is no longer made today. The "Chinon" model, which is still being produced, is very similar. On the last photo you can see this model in the antique catalogue of 1902, listed at the top left.
