Set of 6 Towle Old Colonial Sterling Silver Teaspoons

This charming set of six sterling silver teaspoons features the timeless Old Colonial pattern by Towle Silversmiths, introduced in 1895. Designed during the Rococo Revival period, this pattern is celebrated for its ornate handle design, with intricate scrollwork, delicate beadwork, and elegant pierced ends — a refined nod to colonial American aesthetics.

Each spoon is marked "Sterling" with Towle’s hallmark and "925/1000" to denote silver purity. The spoons are monogrammed, adding a layer of vintage personalization, and come with an anti-tarnish pouch for added protection. Measuring 5.5 inches, they are ideal for tea service or dessert settings and offer both everyday functionality and collectible appeal.

Towle Silversmiths, established in 1857, produced the Old Colonial pattern for over a century, concluding in 2009. Its enduring popularity and exquisite detail have made it one of the company’s most iconic and collectible flatware designs.
