Ca 1896 Teaspoons Set of 12 by Holmes and Edward in the Marina Pattern - 'Sterling Inlaid'
$45.00
Offered is a set of 12 teaspoons in the Marina pattern by Holmes and Edwards. Monogrammed with an 'M'. Might pass for a 'W'. In very good condition.
These are made by the Sterling Inlaid process whose patent they acquired from Warner. The qualitative leap in Holmes & Edwards production occurred with the acquisition of the invention patents obtained by William A. Warner of Syracuse for a technique of inlaying blocks of sterling silver at the wear points on the back of spoons and forks prior to plating them. Warner went to work for Holmes & Edwards and his patents (December 9, 1884 and March 2, 1886) brought to the firm a gold medal at the Columbian Exposition in 1893 and a prominent place in silverplate industry [See silvercollection.it]
5.75” in length.
