Imperial Russian 84 silver enamel spoon 1895 Nikolai Alekseev

With reasonable high confidence I was informed this spoon is by Nikolai Alekseev it has the usual spiral centre but also has a really unusual stunning gilt top part above that which is still in fabulous condition. Spoon is a good weight and the enamel in remarkable condition based upon a spoon that dates to the Romanov era and 130 years. A real historical item as such as far as I can tell he worked in the Vilnius area before relocating to Moscow his works are found still in many upper end auctions and is recognised as master craftsman of this era.
