By Tiffany & Co.
Located in Big Bend, WI
Wave Edge was designed by Charles T. Grosjean, the renowned decorator of silver and introduced by Tiffany in 1884. The fanciful marine motif, graceful lines and stylized forms of Wave Edge make it a splendid complement to even the most ornate of table settings.
Grosjean worked in his family's firm which produced high end silverware to prominent New York City retailers, including Tiffany. Upon his father's death, Grosjean left his family firm to become superintendent of Tiffany's silver factory in 1868. He had great background in silver and was an artist and was referred to as "one of the best living decorators of silver". He was a teacher in the Tiffany School and designed a few full lines of sterling including Chrysanthemum, Wave Edhe, and English King, which are some of the most famous of his designs.
