Issued at the turn of the 20th century, Tiffany's Florentine takes its name from the city whose identity is synonymous with the Italian Renaissance, and fittingly the decorative elements of the pattern derive from design characteristic of that period.
This example is a 6 1/4" long, very heavy relative to size at nearly 1.4 T. oz., youth fork with a line script "ALW" monogram engraved in the reserve area of the handle front.
In good condition, this retains clear pattern detail and presents a warm finish. There are points of wear on the backside handle end and heel where the piece rests. The tines are straight and even but have light knife cuts on the reverses.
The marks are some rubbed but legible and read, "Tiffany & Co.," "Sterling," and "Pat. 1900."
