Large Tiffany & Co. Renaissance Revival Sterling Silver Tray designed by Paulding Farnham (1859-1927), possibly for the St. Louis exhibition of 1904. Oval, with figural angel masks at each end, repousse C-scroll border enclosing a rim with raised clusters of fruit and flowers and a rosette band, and strapwork extending to the center of the tray. Foliate scroll handles. No monograms. 34 1/2″ x 25 1/2″ (including handles). Stamped en verso “Tiffany & Co. Makers” divided by numbers 15819 and 7043, with C mark for Charles T. Cook, directorship, along with a Fleur di Lis mark. 267.42 troy ounces. For a photo and discussion of an identical (likely this same) tray, ref. Charles and Mary Grace Carpenter, “Tiffany Silver,” page 83-84, figure 90. Gilded age designer Paulding Farnham is credited with some of Tiffany’s most important pieces, including the Adams gold vase. He trained as a silversmith under Edward C. Moore and also had an independent career as a sculptor. This tray was designed in what Farnham called the “Renaissance” style, incorporating varied motifs from multiple periods. Farnham designed a monumental tea and coffee service in the Renaissance style for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St. Louis, basing the winged figures at the handles on similar figures by Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543). Christie’s, which on Jan. 17, 1992 (lot 13B) sold all of the pieces to a Farnham Renaissance silver tea/coffee service -except for the tray – reported that five of those pieces were marked with a fleur di lis symbol. The catalog went on to note that Tiffany & Co. marked all silver pieces sent to world’s fairs with a special symbol, and a fleur-de-lys was an appropriate symbol of the St. Louis Exhibition (which commemorated the purchase of Louisiana from the French in 1804). Farnham’s Renaissance service was so well received at the World’s Fair that Tiffany introduced additional hollowware forms and a flatware line in the renowned “Renaissance” pattern the following year.

Large Art Nouveau period silver vase, tests higher than sterling (.950, XRF tested), having a hand hammered ("martele") and repousse surface, undulated everted rim with chased acanthus decoration over a bombe section with blown-out repousse flowers interspersed with oak leaves; supported on a tall tapered shaft having contrasting hammered and polished sections, engraved with crest of a deer in wreath over a script monogram, RMR or BMB. Square base with bombe leafy, lobed decoration and four everted, acanthus overlaid feet. Marked on underside of base with incomplete and probably spurious Gorham Martele mark along with some additional rubbed out marks, and stamped for retailer Shreve, Crump and Low Co. of Boston. 22 1/2" H. 145.83 oz troy (10.0 lbs). Late 19th/ early 20th century. Note: Several American silver companies produced outstanding hand-made pieces of "art silver" during the Art Nouveau period featuring a subtle hammered technique, among them Reed & Barton, (which, like Gorham, called its art silver line "Martele."). But Gorham's Martele line was the most renowned and it was certainly the best-documented; each piece carried a letter assignment code and can be traced to company records on when it was made and how long the production took. This piece does not appear in any of the Gorham Co. records nor does it appear to contain any numerical markings. It does appear to be a well made, high silver content piece of period Art Nouveau Silver.

Engraved inscription, " Gustav Persch from Chas. Rossy / July 13, 1865". 3 5/8"H, 6.19 oz troy. Note: Samuel Bell (1797-1881) was a silversmith in Knoxville, Tennessee from 1819-1852 before moving to Texas, where he resumed his silver work in San Antonio and expanded his operation to include members of his family. Gustav Persch and Charles Rossy were both immigrants (Persch from Germany and Rossy from Austria) who came to the new world as young men and found success in Texas. Both appear in San Antonio tax records as property owners in 1860 and served as elected city officials during the Civil War. Gustav Persch, recipient of the cup, is listed in the 1860 census as a saloon owner, while Rossy, the giver of the cup, owned a confectionary business prior to the Civil War and later found success in the tobacco business. He is credited with the manufacture and first use of illuminating gas in San Antonio. According to his obituary, "He was a man of much learning, read a great deal and through many sterling traits of character endeared himself to a great number of people". (Source: the San Antonio Daily Light, Friday, June 8, 1900)." Rossy also seems to have been a friend of Emperor Maxmillian of Mexico, where he traveled extensively during the War, carrying a gift of a walking stick from the Emperor as a symbol of his "protected" status.

The recipient, William George Mood (1809-1885) was a Charleston merchant and Aiken planter, an antebellum agriculturalist in South Carolina whose varied interests leaned toward wine production by the time of the War. He became a director of that state’s Vine Growing Association in 1858, and is noted as continuing to sell his wines during the War (for a mere $1 per bottle!) Before removing to Aiken, Mood was a partner in Andrew Macdowell & Co. Dry Goods at #32 East Bay in Charleston. He moved back to Charleston in later years, but remained primarily focused upon agriculture, becoming a leader in South Carolina agricultural production and trade as referenced by his continued correspondence and professional opinions (1881) for the SC General Assembly on such matters. Peter Mood Jr. was appointed as guardian for William upon their father’s death in 1821.
