About the Item

Extraordinary Wood & Hughes Figural Sterling Three-Piece Baby/ Youth Set Wood and Hughs, NY NY (1871-1899) A fine Wood & Hughes figural sterling three-piece baby/ youth set, made by the renowned Wood and Hughes silversmiths of New York City, from 1871 to 1899. This set is truly a work of art, heavy exquisite casting with unique neoclassical design and craftsmanship. The set comprises a knife, fork, and spoon, each piece featuring a heavy cast sterling silver neoclassical draped figure raised on an iconic column. The intricate detailing and artistry in the figures make them stand out as unique and visually striking pieces. Adding a touch of sentimentality and history, each piece is engraved at the back of the figure with the name 'Fannie Gould Baldwin,' providing a glimpse into its previous ownership and provenance. Hallmarked with the signature 'W&H' for Wood & Hughes and '925' to indicate the purity of the silver, these marks ensure the authenticity and high quality of the set. The total weight of the three pieces is approximately 5.5 ounces, a testament to the substantial amount of sterling silver used in their construction. The fork measures 7.25 inches in length and 1 inch in width, while the spoon and knife are slightly smaller, measuring 6.5 inches in length and 1 inch in width. This Wood & Hughes Figural Sterling Three-Piece Baby/ Youth Set is not just a functional dining set; it is a reflection of the golden era of American silver craftsmanship.
