Description

A beautiful set of six antique silver orange spoons by Tiffany & Co. in the magnificent Chrysanthemum pattern, designed by Charles Grosjean, this is one of the most desirable of all their patterns with superb cast decoration to the handles and extending into the heel of the bowl. Entwined and over-lapping leaves with small flower buds peeking out and finishing with an open chrysanthemum at the tip. One of most charming elements of this design is the incorporation of the hallmarks appearing as though the pattern has wrapped itself around the already hallmarked spoon, a beautiful detail that shows Tiffany quality at its finest. The bowls are gilded to protect the spoons from the fruit acid. Perfect for grapefruit or indeed still oranges!

Marked "TIFFANY & Co. STERLING PAT.1880.M", c.1880-1891, made under the tenure of Edward C. Moore, these are early examples of this pattern. 1880 is the reference to the pattern number.

They measure 14.9cm (5 7/8") long and weigh a substantial 239g / 7.7ozt.

In excellent condition with no damage or repair. Very minor signs of age and use; the tip of one has been slightly rounded off. The decoration and marks are lovely and crisp and each has a period monogram.

Date of Manufacture

The Fancy Fox has dated these Tiffany Silver Fruit Spoons to the Victorian era.

FAQs

Introduced by Tiffany & Co. in the late 19th century, the Chrysanthemum pattern is widely considered one of the most elaborate and masterfully sculpted silver designs of the American Victorian era, featuring dense floral motifs in high relief.

These pieces are crafted from sterling silver with selective gilding, a process known as parcel gilt, where a thin layer of gold is applied to specific areas such as the bowls to create a striking two-tone contrast with the silver body.

Authentic pieces typically bear official Tiffany maker marks, purity stamps such as sterling, and often date ciphers or retailer inscriptions, accompanied by crisp, hand-chased detailing rather than cast imitations.

These serving pieces add historical texture and refined elegance when mixed into contemporary table settings, displayed within glass-front cabinets, or utilised for formal dining occasions.

Clean gently with a specialised silver polishing cloth to avoid abrading the delicate gold wash, and store in tarnish-resistant flannel rolls within a controlled environment free from excessive humidity.
