Today we are delighted to offer for sale an antique Whiting sterling silver fruit bowl in the lovely Violet pattern!
Whiting Manufacturing Co traces its origin to the firm Tifft & Whiting formed in 1840 by Albert C. Tifft and William Dean Whiting. After the retirement of Tifft the firm changed to Whiting & Gooding (& Co) in 1853, Whiting Fessenden & Cowan (1858), Tifft Whiting & Co (1859, re-entering of Tifft), Whiting Cowan & Bowen (1864) until its forming as Whiting Manufacturing Co in 1866. The factory, located in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, was destroyed by a fire in 1875. What was salvaged by the ruins was acquired by F, Jones and the production transferred to New York combining its manufacturing operations and offices into one building at 692-694 Broadway at Fourth Street. The company was purchased by Gorham in 1924 and the production transferred to Providence, Rhode Island.
This beautiful and elegant serving dish can be used to serve fruits, nuts or other delicacies. Crafted of sterling silver in Whiting's "Violet" pattern (introduced in the early 1900s), this beautiful bowl features ornate flower and leaf details around its rim, which is further accented by art nouveau-style curved lines. The piece is marked on the bottom with Whiting's silver mark, "7000," "8-3/4 IN" and "Sterling". The center of the bowl is monogrammed with multiple initials (trTmf, it appears), along with the years 1879 and 1904, commemorating a 25th anniversary.
Bowl presents well and is very good antique condition, with wear/scuffing, tarnishing, and patina commensurate with age and light use. There are scattered tarnish spots. Some minor dents are present in the base of the bowl. No major damage has been noted. We gave this bowl a light polishing; you may wish to do more. Please review all photos before purchasing.
Add elegance and style to any fine silver collection with this classic piece. Fresh to the market!
