Colonial Silver Flatware Service for 12","description":"Sterling Silver Flatware Service for 12\u003cbr\u003e Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This exquisite 180-piece sterling silver flatware service for 12 by Tiffany \u0026amp; Co. is crafted in the distinguished \u003cem\u003eColonial pattern\u003c\/em\u003e. One of Tiffany’s most classically inspired motifs, Colonial was first introduced in 1895 by Charles L. Tiffany, though it did not receive its patent until 1896. Interestingly, this contradicts the mark “Pat. 1895” found on the pieces—an anomaly explained by the fact that the dies were originally made with the anticipated patent date, and the cost of modifying them was deemed too high once the official date changed. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The \u003cem\u003eColonial pattern\u003c\/em\u003e pattern was designed by Paulding Farnham, a premier Tiffany artisan and accomplished sculptor who trained under Edward C. Moore, Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.'s head designer from 1868 to 1891. Farnham’s mastery is evident in the refined form and rich chasing of this pattern, which exudes timeless elegance. Discontinued in 1913, \u003cem\u003eColonial pattern\u003c\/em\u003e remains one of Tiffany’s most sophisticated and sought-after designs. Farnham was also responsible for some of Tiffany’s most celebrated commissions, including the Admiral Dewey presentation sword and the famed Adams Gold Vase, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Marked “Tiffany \u0026amp; Co.” and “Pat. 1895” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The set comprises:\u003cbr\u003e 12 Oyster forks (gold-washed tines)\u003cbr\u003e 12 Fish forks (gold-washed tines)\u003cbr\u003e 12 Small\/salad forks\u003cbr\u003e 12 Luncheon\/dessert forks\u003cbr\u003e 12 Dinner forks\u003cbr\u003e 12 Serving forks\u003cbr\u003e 12 Fish knives \u003cbr\u003e 12 Butter knifes\u003cbr\u003e 12 Luncheon\/dessert knives \u003cbr\u003e 12 Dinner knifes\u003cbr\u003e 12 Carving knives\u003cbr\u003e 12 Serving spoons\u003cbr\u003e 12 Tablespoons\u003cbr\u003e 12 Soup spoons\u003cbr\u003e 12 Teaspoon\/coffee spoons","brand":"MSR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50275026207010,"sku":"32-0766","price":48850.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0961\/6710\/0706\/files\/32-0766_1.png?v=1756231526","url":"https:\/\/banksyarts.com\/products\/tiffany-co-colonial-silver-flatware-service-for-12","provider":"The Louvre of America","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
