The long dominant 19th and 20th century Cincinnati silver and jewelry house, Duhme produced a number of flatware lines of its own design.

In addition, several patterns that are essentially identical to, or strikingly reminiscent of, other makers also appear with Duhme's name on them, and that is the case of this 7 7/8" long, weighty at just over 2.3 T. oz., serving fork that markedly resembles Durgin's 1891 Louis XV .

The two designs incorporate the same densely arrayed rococo elements front and backside, set on a robust handle.

The serving end has four splayed tines joined by a crossbar. The heel is pierced and has raised scroll shoulders.

Never monogrammed, this remains in excellent condition. Pattern detail is clear and well-defined and the finish shows a soft patina. Apart from light surface scratches on the serving end, there is no evidence of use.
