Personaized Christofle Teaspoons of Rudolf Hilferding

Personaized Christofle Teaspoons of Rudolf Hilferding
 
This elegant set of sterling silver teaspoons, crafted by Christofle circa 1910, belonged to Rudolf Hilferding—Austrian economist, theorist, and minister whose influence shaped modern socio-economic thought. Each spoon bears the engraved initials “RH,” linking the set directly to Hilferding’s personal effects.
Hilferding, author of "Finance Capital" and a key figure in the Weimar Republic, combined intellectual rigor with a quiet appreciation for refined simplicity. These teaspoons reflect that duality—objects of daily use imbued with cultural and historical resonance.
Preserved in excellent condition and accompanied by full documentation, the set offers collectors a rare glimpse into the private world of a man whose public legacy continues to inspire. For historians, connoisseurs of antique silver, or admirers of political thought, this is more than a set of utensils—it is a fragment of lived history.
