Description
Holmes and Edwards was an American manufacturer of luxury silverware; a division of International Silver. They were known for their Inlaid Silver, a Sheffield style semi-plated silver flatware. The "Napoleon" pattern was designed by noted artist Lillian V.M. Helander introduced in 1929, and, due to the onset of the Depression, was only produced for a very short time.
