About the Item
HISTORY OF OLYMPIAN PATTERN from "Tiffany Silver Flatware 1845-1905 When Dining Was an Art"
By Dr. William P. Hood, pages 210-217
“The style is Academic Beaux-Arts. The patent application credits Edward C. Moore, but there is good reason to believe F. Antoine Heller also contributed. The pattern was first introduced at the Expositiion Universelle, Paris, 1878. Olympian is a multi-motif pattern with seventeen (17) different handle decorations depicting subjects and stories from classical mythology. The motif varies with whether a piece has a flat or hollow handle.
Each design is elaborate, and though sharply carved, can be seen to best advantage when the background is oxidized, as are all pieces offered in this listing. On the obverse of each piece, the design covers the entire handle and has an unusual horizontal orientation.
Although the concept of seventeen (17) different handle designs in one flatware service was original, the idea of depicting a finely detailed scene horizontally over the entire flatware handle just as if it were a frieze was not.”
If you would like a copy of the pages from the Hood book relavant to the Olympian pattern, please email your request with your name and mailing address. Also, we are currently filling in the place pieces that may be missing; rest assured, 12 place settings of each is possible and will be available.
