内容简介

The antique silver flatware of Tiffany & Co. is highly sought after but the collector is often frustrated by the lack of available information and pictures of patterns and pieces. This guide relates the history of the silver flatware made by others and retailed by Tiffany between 1845 and 1876, as well as that designed and made in-house between 1869 and 1905. The story is woven into the broader fabric of the history of flatware in general and gives insights into the complex rituals of eating practised by the upper strata of society in the 19th century.
