This timeless 216-piece flatware set from the famed Tiffany & Co. includes place settings for 12, housed in its original Tiffany & Co. fitted chest. The set is further heightened by the inclusion of gilded utensils, an exclusive rarity. Fashioned to reflect the elaborate entertainment of the Gilded Age, English King was first introduced by Tiffany in 1885. The design represents Tiffany's rendition of the English silver counterpart, known as the King’s pattern, which experienced widespread popularity in both North America and Europe in the later years of the 19th century. Tiffany maintains the King pattern's trademark elegance, yet adds the subtle charm and quality for which the American firm is renowned. The result is a classic and familiar design transformed by Tiffany’s gift for innovation, which consequently received its own exclusive patent.

Though several versions of the pattern have been made in electroplate by virtually every major silverware manufacturer in the United States, Tiffany’s version was the only one to be crafted in sterling silver. English King has remained one of Tiffany’s most popular patterns and enjoys a great following.
