Tiffany & Co. Persian Flatware Service, 140 Pieces

This sterling silver flatware service by Tiffany & Co. was crafted in the exceptionally rare Persian pattern. Containing 140 total pieces, the service includes a full array of flatware for lunch and dinner, each one adorned with a complex repoussé design. The complete service for 12 comes housed in its custom Tiffany & Co. fitted case.

The Persian pattern was developed and patented in 1872 by Tiffany's lead designer, Edward C. Moore. Highly important in Tiffany's history, Moore was an avid traveler with a passion for Eastern design. His collection of art from Persia, India, China and Japan inevitably influenced his designs for Tiffany, with Persian being one of the most magnificent and opulent of his Near Eastern-inspired motifs. Today, it is among Tiffany's rarest and most coveted patterns, and it remains as beautiful and exotic today as it was over a century ago.
