This exceptional 214-piece Tiffany & Co. sterling flatware service for 12 features the highly desirable Chrysanthemum pattern. Introduced in 1878 and patented in 1880, the Chrysanthemum pattern is considered among Tiffany's most beautiful and luxurious designs. The brainchild of renowned designer Charles T. Grosjean, the motif incorporates traditional baroque shapes with a modern, natural motif. Chrysanthemum quickly became the most highly prized and luxurious of all Tiffany patterns, and a particular favorite among new brides, even though it was among the most expensive to produce. To find a set in such pristine condition, nestled in its fitted chest with a red velvet interior, is truly exceptional.
Charles T. Grosjean was one of the most influential silversmiths in Tiffany's history. The son of a silversmith, he joined Tiffany as the manager of the company’s Prince Street silverworks, and he quickly became a driving force in the overall success of Tiffany’s silver business. Grosjean’s designs are among the most enduring of the Tiffany patterns and include Chrysanthemum, Lap-over-Edge, and English King. Chrysanthemum, however, found particular favor with Victorian socialites and new brides even though it was one of the most expensive of the Tiffany patterns to produce. The pattern was also used with many forms of hollowware as well, which also enjoyed tremendous popularity. Chrysanthemum is still considered the top pattern Tiffany & Co. ever produced.
