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

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 Grosjean. 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.
