Historical and Collector Context

The Hildesheim Rose is a recognised German silver pattern associated with Christoph Widmann and takes its name from the historic rose bush at Hildesheim Cathedral. Widmann’s interpretation of the motif became particularly popular during the 20th century and was produced across a range of decorative silver tableware. The detailed rose terminal gives this small caddy spoon a particularly attractive collector presence.
