Tiffany & Co. Gilt Sterling Silver Salad Serving Fork in Richelieu Pattern

Tiffany & Co. gilt sterling silver salad serving fork in the celebrated Richelieu pattern, adorned with floral and stylized motifs. It measures 10'' in length and bears hallmarks and a monogram as shown. The legendary Tiffany brand was founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in Connecticut as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium," with the help of Charles Tiffany's father who financed the store for only $1,000 with profits from a cotton mill. Tiffany & Co. soon became a highly regarded brand for jewelry, gemstones, and silver. In 1845, Tiffany was a pioneer when it launched the Blue Book, which at the time was the first mail-order catalog to be distributed in the US. In 1878, Tiffany won the gold medal for jewelry and a grand prize for silverware at the Paris World Fair Exposition. The luxury brand’s enduring legacy remains vibrant to this day.
