Regular price
$576.00
Presented is an antique, sterling silver serving spoon or large scoop made by Tiffany & Company, probably a cracker or berry scoop. This piece is in the Persian pattern, which was patented in 1872. The front and back of the handle is ornately decorated with latticework vines, leaves and flowers. The front of the handle has a monogram of the initials AMM and the date Dec 25th 1877. The large, deep bowl has an unusual rose colored gold wash.
Tiffany's 'Persian' pattern is one of the most elegant late-19th century patterns ever created. First introduced in 1872 and inactive before 1904, Persian was designed by Edward C. Moore. Moore found inspiration in many exotic eastern designs. He amassed a large and notable collection of Persian and mid-eastern items that was donated to the Metropolitan Museum upon his death.
The back is marked Tiffany & Co, sterling silver and patent 1872.
This piece is in excellent condition and the designs are crisp. The original rose gold wash is in perfect condition. No wear. There are no problems. This piece was probably never used.
Length: 9 3/8 inches.
Weight: 91 grams.
