Sterling Silver Flatware Service for 12
Tiffany & Co.
This exquisite 180-piece sterling silver flatware service for 12 by Tiffany & Co. is crafted in the distinguished Colonial pattern. 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this contradicts the mark “Pat. 1895” found on the pieces—an anomaly explained by the fact that the dies were originally made with the anticipated patent date, and the cost of modifying them was deemed too high once the official date changed.
The Colonial pattern pattern was designed by Paulding Farnham, a premier Tiffany artisan and accomplished sculptor who trained under Edward C. Moore, Tiffany & 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, Colonial pattern 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.
