Description
For your consideration, we have a Tiffany & Co Teaspoon. This antique teaspoon is part of their Japanese flatware heirloom collection.
ITEM SPECIFICS:
Designed in 1871, the ‘Japanese’ collection by Tiffany & Co. debuted during the most innovative period in the history of Tiffany silver. To this day, it is still evidently one of the most popular of all Tiffany patterns. The collection is the first Tiffany pattern to introduce silver decorated in the Japanese revival style. The flowing designs of branches and twigs with leaves, buds, flowers and exotic birds were entirely different from anything in American silver at that time. This pattern was a direct result of the interest in exotic cultures that meanwhile became widespread in the late nineteenth century.
This interest led directly into the American Art Nouveau movement, whose leader was Louis Comfort Tiffany, son of Tiffany’s founder. Each piece of Audubon is decorated with intricate designs adapted from nineteenth century Japanese bird paintings, with eight species represented. The back of each piece has complementary designs derived from Japanese flowers. This design’s exquisite detail lends itself well to a wide range of table-setting designs from traditional to contemporary.
Tiffany & Co. is a luxury jewelry and specialty design house headquartered on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Tiffany is markedly known for their luxury goods, particularly the diamond and sterling silver jewelry.
This Tiffany & Co Teaspoon is the perfect addition to any flatware collection!
