Regular price
$828.00
Presented is a great set of 8 Tiffany & Co sterling silver forks. These forks 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 forks 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 fork 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. There is only the most minor of knife wear to the backs of the tines, visible only with close, careful inspection. The pieces are clean, polished by hand to a soft shine. There are no splits, no breaks, no dents, no cracks, no monogram removals, and no repairs.
Each piece is stamped Tiffany & Co as well as sterling.
Each spoon is about 7 inches long.
The total weight for the set is 525 grams or 18.5 regular ounces. -jm
