Description: This 800(ducatin) silver souvenir spoon dates to the turn of the 20th Century with a view of the Dresden Hofkirche. The Court Church was built for Elector Freidrich August II (August III as king of Poland) by architect Gaetano Chaiveri. The Baroque church was the largest church of Saxony. The nave has a length of 50m and a height of 20 m., the church tower is 85m. tall. Seventy-eight statues of saints were created by Lorenzo Mattielli for the ballustrade around the nave. The organ was created in 1755 by the famous organbuilder Gottfried Silbermann. The crypt beneath the church holds the tombs of members of the Wettin dynasty. After its destruction in 1945, the church was restored in 1965. In 1980 it obtained the status of a cathedral, the new seat of the bishops of the diocese of Dresden-Meissen. Note that this spoon has a raised image of the Hofkirche and the Heraldic Symbol of the City of Dresden in enamel for the top of the spoon. The gilding is in good condition and this is an attractive spoon for any collection. FAST SHIPPING from Santa Barbara, CA. Postage out of the US to be based upon actual cost.
