Assorted Sterling Silver Flatware & Hollowware Grouping (36 Pieces)

This eclectic collector’s lot features an assortment of antique and vintage sterling silver flatware and table hollowware from various prominent silversmiths. The collection includes notable patterns such as Towle’s "Paul Revere" (introduced 1906), characterized by its classic, elegant reeded borders and refined teardrop profile. Spanning late 19th-century through mid-20th-century production, this diverse assembly showcases a range of traditional American silver craftsmanship, complete with decorative monograms, engine-turned engraving, and delicate hand-hammered textures across both flatware and serving accessories.

The 36-piece collection contains a mix of flatware, serving items, and small table hollowware. Solid sterling flatware includes an array of tea and dessert spoons, broad tablespoons, a shell-shaped sugar/butter spoon, flat-handled butter spreaders, and small ladles. The hollowware section features four pedestal salt and pepper shakers with weighted bases, three sterling shot/cordial cups (two with a hand-hammered finish and one smooth-tapered), and an intricately etched/chased napkin ring featuring band work and monogram detailing. A single fruit/utility knife with a sterling silver handle and steel blade completes the grouping.

The total weighable weight for this collection is 1,103 grams. Bidders should note that this weight includes all 31 solid sterling flatware and hollowware items (including the napkin ring and three shot/cordial cups), but excludes the 4 weighted salt and pepper shakers as well as the single steel-bladed fruit knife.
