Issued in 1891, Dominick & Haff's "Cupid" features a raised relief, winged cherub's face on the handle, with variation in the portraiture from piece to piece.

Rococo in manner, the pattern also incorporates a series of scrolls and leafy elements that are complementary to the main figure.

This example is a 5 13/16" long, .9 T. oz., four tine sardine fork. The heel area is cupped and has raised scroll detailing on the shoulders.

There is a delicately engraved, fancy script "CLA" monogram on the handle front.

It is in choice condition. All of the design elements remain clearly defined, and are absent polishing wear. The tines are well-formed, pointed, and free of bends, nicks, or burrs.

Marks are the Dominick & Haff three part emblem, "Sterling," "Pat'd '91.," and the name of the retailer, San Francisco's "George C. Shreve & Co."
