Hello
Your spoons in the filet (thread) pattern are made of 950 standard silver as seen by the Minerva head mark in an octagonal reserve with a 1 by her forehead to indicate first standard silver.

See:

https://www.925-1000.com/Ffrench_marks.html

The maker is Louis Lenain, working in Paris at 199 rue St-Martin. He registered this mark 1 June 1855, erased 6 July 1882 when he ceased production.

See Arminjon, vol 1, no. 02425, p. 248.

You have posted about this maker previously. See:
