ENGLISH KING (c. 1885)

Patterns
similar to our English King were first used in France and England late
in the eighteenth century and have remained among the most popular
styles for>flatware today, in both Europe and America. Tiffany
Co. first made its own version of English King in 1885. It harmonizes
with any eighteenth-century-inspired style neo-Georgian, Colonial, Louis
XVI, Sheraton, Chippendale, Adam or Hepplewhite. The rich, intricate
decoration of Tiffany's English King pattern reflects the luxurious
entertainments given during the latter part of the eighteenth century
and will enhance and give a sense of occasion to present-day settings.

Designed
by Charles Grosjean (1841-1888). 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 patterns for
Tiffany in his short time with the company before his unfortunate and
sudden death. His patterns Chrysanthemum and English King are some of the most famous of his designs, and of
Tiffany in general.
