This Edwardian pastry or sandwich server originates from Tiffany & Company in the 1916 San Lorenzo pattern, designed as a pair of serving tongs in a Classical Revival style. The piece is formed of sterling silver with a silver-gilt finish, presenting a rich gold colour throughout its metallic structure. Pierced spade-shaped blades dominate the business end, decorated with intricate perforated cut-outs alongside delicate chased dot patterns and relief ornamentation near the hinge. The vertical handle shows precise linear chased borders, geometric divisions, and a spring mechanism connecting the upper and lower blades, which display minor surface tarnish and light rubbing consistent with age. Measuring 12 cm high, 5 cm wide, and 4 cm deep, the tongs operate with a practical spring action. In a contemporary home, this fine silver-gilt server sits elegantly upon a dining table, sideboard top, or vanity display when serving delicate pastries, sandwiches, or afternoon tea confections. Collectors of early-twentieth-century silverwork appreciate the functional yet decorative character of the San Lorenzo pattern, which integrates classical motifs with refined utility. The bright gold tone and detailed piercing catch the ambient light, adding a touch of period distinction to traditional table settings or specialist displays. Handled with care during special occasions or maintained safely within a curated cabinet collection, the piece provides a tangible connection to early Tiffany design without requiring extensive modern restoration.

FAQs

Introduced in 1916 by Tiffany & Co., the San Lorenzo pattern features classical revival motifs reflecting early 20th-century American silver flatware design and craftsmanship.

These serving utensils are constructed from solid sterling silver overlaid with a layer of gold gilding, known as vermeil, and often feature pierced or carved blades designed to grasp baked goods.

Authentic pieces carry stamped hallmarks on the handle or stem, typically including the Tiffany & Co. name, Sterling, and pattern or order markings.

A silver gilt server can be integrated into afternoon tea table setups, presented on a sideboard tray, or styled alongside modern porcelain and glass dining items.

Wash silver gilt items gently by hand using warm water and mild liquid soap, avoiding abrasive cloths, metal polishes, or chemical dips that can strip the gold layer.
