Four Tiffany Sterling Silver Demitasse Spoons in the 1911 Flemish Pattern. Each Spoon measures 4. 64 Grams total weight. PROVENANCE: The Estate of noted NYC attorney, author and well known political advisor Edward N. Costikyan. Tiffany's Flemish Pattern was designed and produced in 1911 and is a modification of the English Trifid End pattern of the 18th century. A graceful simple design, Flemish is harmonious with both traditional and modern design. In 1851 John C. Moore & Son entered into a special business relationship with Tiffany. In 1868 the silverware factory of Moore became part of organization with Edward C. Moore becoming one of the directors.
Throughout the remaining years of the 19th century, Tiffany’s won wide acclaim for the nature of its product and the wealth of its clientele.
Tiffany and Co. moved to its current location on New York 5th Ave. in 1940. The new building was designed in the art deco style and is a testimony to the style of that era. Above the door is a statue of Atlas bearing the weight of the world. Instead of a globe being held above his head, he holds a clock. The architects of the building wanted to create an ominous affect that reminded Tiffany & Co.’s visitors of the rarity and preciousness of the treasures carried by the store. For that reason, all of the buildings doors were made to look like the doors of industrial bank vaults.
Today, Tiffany & Co. remains a leading maker of jewelry, china, crystal, silver, and glassware. Tiffany’s sterling pieces are some of the purest to be found in the world.
