Tiffany & Co Sterling Silver Large 1914 Centerpiece Bowl in Kings Pattern

Tiffany & Co large sterling silver centerpiece bowl in pattern number 18749A from 1914 in the celebrated Kings pattern. Designed with a turned-over rim, decorated with a foliate scroll border and cartouches, it measures 17'' in diameter (inner diameter of the bowl is 10 1/2'') by 3 3/4'' in height, weighs 68 troy ounces, and bears hallmarks as shown. Founded in 1837 by Charles Lewis Tiffany and John B. Young in Brooklyn, Connecticut, as a "stationery and fancy goods emporium", with the help of Charles Tiffany's father who financed the store for only $1,000 with profits from a cotton mill, Tiffany & Co. became a highly regarded brand for jewelry, gemstones, and silver. In 1845, Tiffany was a pioneer when it launched the Blue Book, which at the time was the first mail-order catalogue to be distributed in the US. In 1878, Tiffany won the gold medal for jewelry and a grand prize for silverware at the Paris World Fair Exposition. Its exceptionally enduring legacy as a luxury brand is still vibrant to this day.
