Whiting produced a line of cast floral pieces, circa 1890, the extent of which is unknown. The design seems to have evolved from the same impulse that generated Gorham's massive H series pieces, and may have been intended to compete with that very product. They are art nouveau in style, always opulent in execution, and robust in scale. This asparagus server is an example of the line, and exhibits the aforementioned qualities. It is 8 1/8" long, and weighs just over 3.0 T. oz. The flower is ... Click for details

Poppy evidences this claim to the fullest. It is a lush, natural floral interpretation of immense appeal. The design is double die struck, meaning it appears on both sides of pieces. This item is an 8 7/8" long, large cold meat fork that weighs approximately 2.3 T. oz. The motif on this continues onto the... Click for details
