Description
Rare in this condition! A 1925 matched set of carving knife and fork from Tiffany & Company in their most popular SHELL AND THREAD pattern. It features a charming monogram from Tiffany's Fifth Avenue engraving shop.
The 11.25" knife is sharp and ready to use. The blade is marked with the shield and "T" and "TIFFANY & CO NEW YORK".
The 10.25 fork features a movable guard, which will keep the fork from slipping into the serving platter. Both are embossed "STERLING".
From Tiffany and Company: "Shell and Thread was first introduced by Tiffany in 1905. Its design is typical of patterns made in England during the long reign of King George III. The raised-border edges, which accentuate the classic "fiddle" shape of the pattern, along with the superbly balanced shell motif give Shell and Thread the great advantage of being at home practically anywhere. This versatility and the beauty of Shell and Thread make it Tiffany's most popular classic pattern."
This would make a perfect gift, too.
