Towle Set of 15 Gilt Sterling Silver Dessert / Bread Plates Early 20th Century

About the Item

Towle, set of 15 gilt sterling silver dessert or bread plates from the early 20th century, beautifully adorned with ornate and stylized curvilinear motifs. They measure 6 1/4'' in diameter by 2/5'' in height, weigh 56 troy ounces, and bear hallmarks and a monogram as shown. Towle Silversmiths is an American silver manufacturer originally founded in 1857 as Towle & Jones by Anthony Francis Towle and William P. Jones– two apprentices to the Moulton family of silversmiths. Over the years, Towle has created numerous sterling silver flatware patterns in the United States: including the "Marie Louise" in 1939 which became the official sterling silver pattern for U.S. embassies worldwide, "Old Master" in 1942, now considered by some to be the company’s flagship pattern, and the "Contour" in 1950 (designed by Robert J. King, patented by John Van Koert) which was the first American sterling pattern to manifest post-World War II organic modernist design and the only production-line American flatware included in the Museum of Modern Art's Good Design exhibitions. Please feel free to ask us any questions, and please see our other listings. We hand polish all items before shipping them out, but if there is interest for a professional polishing and/or engraving removal, we can take care of that for an additional charge and with delayed shipping.
