The
Olympian pattern, which was introduced by Tiffany Co. in 1878, is
the most elaborate and complex of all Tiffany flatware designs. Each
piece of Olympian is designed to illustrate a well-known story of
Classical mythology. The subjects vary with the size of the handles on
the different pieces.
Edward Moore, designer of this pattern, dominated the first era of Tiffany made flatware and designed several full lines of sterling patterns. 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."
