About the Item

A Partial Sterling Silver "Lilly of the Valley" Pattern. This extra extraordinarily beautiful and highly sought after pattern. The pieces are silver with the exception of the knife blades. The Lily of the Valley flatware pattern was created by Whiting Manufacturing Company in the late 19th century, beginning production in 1885 Whiting Manufacturing was founded in 1840 by Albert C. Tifft and William Dean Whiting, later shortened to “Whiting & Co.” after Tifft’s retirement in 1853 House Digest. The company was based in Massachusetts and was known for its high-quality sterling silver flatware and hollowware, often compared in stature to Tiffany & Co. and Gorham House Digest+1. The Lily of the Valley pattern is celebrated for its delicate bell-shaped floral designs that evoke both whimsy and luxury. It was crafted from genuine sterling silver and became one of Whiting’s most popular lines, alongside others like Empire, Heraldic, Hyperion, Louis XV, and Violet Authentic pieces can be identified by Whiting’s signature “W” and the word “sterling” engraved on them.
