Dessert Spoon Emile Puiforcat

[silverfan]

I just found this spoon by Emile Puiforcat. Does anybody know the name of the model?
The photo of the mark is bad, but the mark of the silversmith shows E canif P for Emile Puiforcat.

I found the name by myself. It is the model "Royal".

Hello
This pattern is a reinterpretation of a model first designed by Nicolas Cornu in the mid-1770s.

Puiforcat was a great lover of 18thC silver, and amassed a large collection that was willed to the Louvre Museum upon his death. Many of Puiforcat’s designs for flatware and hollowware were inspired by the objects in his collection. His son Jean completely broke with this tradition, designing in the Art Deco style.

Here is the “original” of your spoon by Nicolas Cornu, found in the Puiforcat collection at the Louvre Museum.
