MAPPIN & WEBB – Cased Set of 6 Spoons HM 1918 – Rare Early Modernist Geometric Stem Design – No Engravings. A wonderfully intelligent and forward-looking design from Mappin & Webb, dated 1918 yet strikingly modernist in spirit. The stems carry a crisp geometric rhythm of alternating circles and angled cuts, a pattern far more reminiscent of the Cubist and early Deco movement that would dominate the 1920s. The finials are left clean and blank, giving the spoons a sharp architectural clarity. It’s an unusually avant-garde pattern for M&W at this date, and the set survives in its original Mappin & Webb presentation case. A rare and very stylish group. Original M&W fitted case. Condition: lovely clean condition, especially considering they are 108 years old, with only light age-appropriate surface marks – please see the photos. A superb and unusually modernist Mappin & Webb design – an extremely rare pattern, almost never encountered, and a standout example of M&W pushing into modernism long before the Deco era.
