Colonial by Tiffany Sterling Silver Flatware Set Service 179 pcs Fitted Chest

The pattern colonial was introduced in 1895 but did not get patent until 1896. This contradicts the mark, as the dies were made with the anticipated patent date, and when it happened later than expected the expense to change it was too high. The pattern was discontinued in 1913. It was designed by paulding franham and was plain in comparison to his later designs. The handle is bordered by four bands which form a scroll with leaf, but the back is not an identical pattern, but similar. George paulding farnham (1859-1927) was born in new york city. His aunt married charles t cook, who assumed presidency of tiffany after the death of charles l tiffany in 1902. Farnham attended tiffany school and was trained by edward c moore and charles gosjean. He stayed with tiffany and eventually became a board member in 1888 and in 1893 was appointed chief designer and head of jewelry later also assuming the role of artistic director of the silver department as well. His flatware designs were similar to jewelry designs, very ornate, elaborate, and in "beaux arts" tradition. He created six full sterling lines for tiffany during his time, before leaving tiffany in 1908. Outstanding colonial by tiffany & co.
