Table top should be used, as often as possible, and not placed in a cabinet for display. Who are you saving it for? Use your silver, china, crystal, and linen as often as possible and enjoy it.

if my parents own one of them it will stay in the cabinet as a display :)

Your table cover design looks like faces of the Ati Atihan.

Good detective work, you’ve got it right. Four of them were purchased together and the other two in a separate lot. There is one more spoon here that somehow got separated from those.

Yes, we have apostle serving spoons, larger than coffee spoons even older than the berry spoons.

Actually, all this tarnishing stuff borders on myth. In fact, the acids would actually help to clean the silver! Oxygen, salt and sulfuric gasses are the real enemies. Gilding and mother of pearl are for the benefit of the food – acidic (fruit), highly salted (caviar), sulfuric (onions), which you don’t want getting off tastes from the silver.

Nice spoons. Question though—won’t the fruit acids react to the silver and tarnish it?

You need to get apostle spoons – the ones with 3D images at the ends – for your coffee and tea.
