Moore's father manufactured for Tiffany and upon retirement left Edward Moore in charge at the young age of 24. In 1868 Tiffany incorporated and bought the Moore Company, making Moore a Tiffany director and chief designer and head of silverware operation. With his travels, he experienced many exotic cultures and art which significantly impacted his designs. After his death, his true genius was fully acknowledged and he as then called "A Prince of Silversmiths.... easily the foremost silversmith in the United States."

Fork - A sibyl unrolling the scroll of fate, which is being eagerly read by one of her votaries. On the back, a female head, torches, olive and thread.
Knife - Orpheus charming the wild animals with the sweetness of his music. On the back, a lyre and heads of animals.
