Lovely travel souvenir of Genoa from 100 years ago. This spoon is from the estate of a Brisbane gentleman who did a grand tour of Europe and North America round 1910 to include the classic sites and world fair.
Beautiful enamel work over gilt metal with an image of  a cathedral.
From the internet...Genoa (Genova) is a port city and the capital of northwest Italy's Liguria region. It's known for its central role in maritime trade over many centuries. In the old town stands the Romanesque Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with its black-and-white-striped facade and frescoed interior. Narrow lanes open onto monumental squares like Piazza de Ferrari, site of an iconic bronze fountain and Teatro Carlo Felice opera house.
May be collected from My Mother's at Old Petrie Town on a sunday morning, delivered in the Brisbane area by arrangement, or posted.
