NEW YORK – Famous names in the art of silversmithing are repeated throughout the catalog of an auction to be conducted by Jasper52 on Sunday, Sept. 25. Absentee and Internet live bidding for these time-honored 19th and 20th century silver pieces is available through LiveAuctioneers.com.

As the most versatile of precious metals, silver stands as both the backdrop and centerpiece of a tastefully decorated home. The select collection of about three dozen lots opens with a Frantz Hingelberg sterling silver flatware service for 12 in the Thread pattern. The 1940s set (above) consists of 96 pieces and has a $10,000-$12,000. estimate.

From 1905, a Georg Jensen sterling silver Blossom No. 2 tea caddy of sterling silver (below) is expected to sell for $3,200-$3,900. It stands 5.25 inches high by 3 inches wide.
