Description

265g Antique Sterling Silver Flatware

A fine and diverse collection of eight antique American sterling silver flatware and serving pieces, dating circa 1893–1899. This mixed-maker assortment includes pieces by Gorham, H. Silverthorn, T&E Dickinson, and W.H. Glenny & Sons, with several distinctive period hallmarks such as “Sterling Pat. 1896,” “Gorham Sterling Pat. 1899,” “Sterling Pat. 1898 T&E Dickinson,” “925 Sterling 1000,” and “H. Silverthorn.”

Each utensil reflects the craftsmanship of the late Victorian era, featuring finely detailed Rococo scrolls, shell motifs, floral repousse, and Aesthetic Movement engravings. The combination of design patents and maker marks situates the collection firmly within America’s golden age of sterling silver artistry. Four utensils bear monogrammed handles, adding personal charm and authenticity.

An attractive and display-worthy grouping for collectors, decorators, or silver connoisseurs—representing the elegance and artistry of 19th-century silversmithing in the United States.

Condition:

Good overall condition with light surface wear and tarnish consistent with age and gentle use. Decorative details remain well-defined, with no significant dents or repairs observed. Four pieces show period monograms. We’ll leave the final polishing to you!
