About the Item
This distinguished nine-piece tea and coffee service, crafted by the International Silver Company, epitomizes the height of American silver artistry from the early 20th century. Designed in the iconic Orchid pattern, this set reflects the luxurious design aesthetics of the Art Deco period, harmoniously blending organic floral motifs with fluid, architectural lines.
The Orchid pattern is renowned for its delicate yet striking botanical embellishments, inspired by the elegant curves and intricate forms of orchid blossoms. Each piece is masterfully executed with exquisite repoussé and chased detailing, demonstrating the remarkable craftsmanship of International Silver’s silversmiths. This ensemble transcends its functional purpose, embodying a cohesive work of art that reflects the opulence and sophistication of its era.
The set comprises the following pieces:
- Hot Water Kettle on Stand with an elegantly arched handle, ornate floral accents, and the original burner. It rests gracefully on a pedestal stand, crowned by a domed lid adorned with a floral finial that complements the orchid motif. 14.25" h, 10.25" w, 5.75" d.
