TIFFANY & CO STERLING SILVER BOX
A lovely Tiffany sterling silver box. This came from a
Florida Estate and is great condition. There is a small burse in one corner as
you can see in the photos. When you look at this box in the flesh this is
hardly noticeable. The flower and leaf design has a wonderful polished patina.
Made in fine sterling silver the hallmarks are very clear. Made between 1907
and 1938 under the guidance of John C. Moor ll. The box is 5 ½” Wide 3 ¼” Deep
1 ¼” High it has a weight of 8.7oz
The firm was founded by Charles L. Tiffany in 1837 with John
B. Young under the name Tiffany & Young.
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 & Co. moved to its current location on New York 5th Ave.
in 1940. The new building was immensely beautiful and was designed in the art
deco style. 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.
