Antique 19th century French .950 silver ladle, hallmarked for Francois-Dominique Naudin

The hallmarks on this beautiful 19th century French .950 silver ladle are for Francois-Dominique Naudin, who was a Parisian silversmith active from 1800-1840, as well as the viellard or Michel-Angel mark which was used to hallmark objects made within Paris from 1819 to 1838.  At .950 silver purity, this ladle is of a higher silver purity than the sterling standard. A very fine piece made between the Bourbon Restoration period and that of the July Monarchy, circa 1819 to 1838.
