Regular price
$633.60
Presented is a great set of 6 Tiffany & Co sterling silver place, dessert, or oval soup spoons. These spoons are made in the Bead pattern, which began production in 1850 under John Polhemus, a renowned silversmith who designed and produced many much-loved silver patterns for Tiffany. These spoons date to around the 1850s-1860s. As the name suggests, this is a stylish beaded pattern with a foliate design at the tip of the handle. The pieces are well made from thick, heavy gauge silver, with a nice feeling of weight and balance in the hand. Each spoon has a finely engraved crest of a stag on the handle.
This set is in great condition. The details of the pattern are nice and crisp. The pieces have some remaining black/tarnish, but could be polished up to a bright mirror shine. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no cracks, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
The spoons are stamped Tiffany & Co as well as sterling.
Each spoon is about 7 inches long.
The total weight for the set is 390 grams or 13.8 regular ounces. -jm
