Any Tiffany & Co. silver tea set in the Chrysanthemum pattern is rare — finding a complete 7-piece set is extraordinary. This opulent motif's signature florals are masterfully chased along the tray's border, while the bodies of the other pots and vessels feature further applied chrysanthemum flowers. Intricately detailed and highly sophisticated, the set is representative of the finest Tiffany & Co. Chrysanthemum ever made.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the rise in popularity of the afternoon tea party and coffee hour in America made formal trays such as this increasingly sought after. A set crafted by the greatest American silversmiths of the age, Tiffany & Co., would have been a significant status symbol among the upper classes, particularly one in the highly coveted pattern. It was first conceived in 1880 by the renowned Tiffany silversmith Charles T. Grosjean, one of the most influential designers in Tiffany's history. Grosjean’s designs are among the most enduring of the Tiffany patterns and include Chrysanthemum, Lap-over-Edge, and English King. Chrysanthemum found particular favor with Victorian socialites and new brides, and to this day it is regarded as the top pattern Tiffany & Co. ever produced. This tea set is a stunning example of the finest luxury silver pieces that Tiffany created in the elegant motif.
