Florentine , introduced in 1900 and patented in 1904, is one of Paulding Farnhams complex designs with Renaissance and Rococo elements. The handle has scroll ornaments and varying sized leaf motif leading to a scroll design at the end. The multiple bands end in a scroll design with a small pineapple at the very end of the handle. This pattern is not easily found on today's market.
George Paulding Farnham (1859-1927) was born in New York City. His aunt married Charles T Cook, who assumed presidency of Tiffany after the death of Charles L Tiffany in 1902. Farnham attended Tiffany school and was trained by Edward C Moore and Charles Gosjean. He stayed with Tiffany and eventually became a board member in 1888 and in 1893 was appointed chief designer and head of jewelry later also assuming the role of artistic director of the silver department as well. His flatware designs were similar to jewelry designs, very ornate, elaborate, and in "beaux arts" tradition. He created six full sterling lines for Tiffany during his time, before leaving Tiffany in 1908.
