TIFFANY SILVERThere is nothing that compares to the look and feel of sterling silver flatware.

By every measure — design, craftsmanship, purity and value — Tiffany sterling silver flatware

is the ideal choice for brides and connoisseurs around the world.

In 1847, Tiffany & Co. introduced its first sterling silver flatware pattern. The world

quickly took notice. Since then, our extensive collection of exclusive designs has come to span

the history of decorative art, ranging from richly detailed classical motifs to elegant

contemporary geometrics. Designed with an eye for balance and proportion, each piece

of our flatware is a masterpiece of form and function.

In the hand, you may notice that Tiffany flatware is heavier than ordinary sterling.

This is because Tiffany uses more silver in the design and manufacture of each piece. The

design is on both the front and back. And every piece of Tiffany silver is hand-finished,

assuring the warm glow and subtle detailing for which our sterling is known. Tiffany silver flatware

can be personalized with hand-engraving of a monogram, initials or family crest.

Today, Tiffany sterling maintains the same level of excellence that earned us a

Grand Prize at the Paris World’s Fairs of 1878, 1889 and 1900.

Named for the historical building in Boston, Faneuil is a modification of a Queen Anne design favored

at the time of the American Revolution. Its simplicity and refined styling are pure Colonial American.

This flatware is a Tiffany version of the “King” designs which were so popular in

England and America in the latter nineteenth century. Its luxurious decoration reflects

the vogue for elaborate entertaining at that time.

On Tiffany’s 150th year anniversary, this was the flatware pattern chosen for Blair House,

America’s official guest quarters for dignitaries in Washington, D.C.

The design of this popular pattern is rooted in the elements of classical architecture, popular

during the reign of George III. Rich in classic simplicity, it is at once noble and eternal.

Eighteenth century France was the inspiration for this pattern — rich, yet much less formal and

ornate than most design patterns of the period. The name is most fitting, Provence being the region

in southern France known for its less formal country design.

This Tiffany design is both modern and classic. Its proportions are

harmonious like great architecture. Hampton was named after Hampton Court,

the country palace of England’s King Henry VIII.

Audubon was inspired by nineteenth-century Japanese bird paintings. Each piece is a work of art,

with an exotic bird on the front, complimented by its own Japanese flower on the back. Eight different

Japanese birds and flowers are depicted. Audubon has been a Tiffany favorite for over 130 years.

Covered in blossoming chrysanthemums, this is one of Tiffany’s most ornate designs.

The flowing lines are characteristic of “the Tiffany Style,” or Art Nouveau as it is more widely known.

The back of each piece is more highly decorated than the front, a surprising visual treat.

Like all of Elsa Peretti’s designs, Padova is based on natural forms.

In this case the open handle represents a teardrop which is a favorite Peretti motif.

Padova derives its name from the Italian village where it is crafted.

America’s love of beautifully designed serving utensils reached its height at the end

of the nineteenth century. Tiffany responded by crafting an enormous variety of unusual pieces.

Today, dozens of different serving pieces are available, from sugar spoons to carving knives,

gravy ladles to cake servers.

Tiffany sterling silver flatware only becomes more beautiful over time.
