Antique Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver Repoussé Daisy Plate Pattern 8174

This antique Tiffany & Co. sterling silver underplate exemplifies the masterful artistry of the Gilded Age. The reverse is fully hallmarked with "TIFFANY & CO.", "STERLING-SILVER", and the distinct pattern number 8174 alongside order number 2590. Crucially, the stamp includes the highly sought-after capital "M" mark, denoting the directorship of Edward C. Moore. Under Moore’s guidance from 1873 to 1891, Tiffany & Co. achieved unprecedented global acclaim, heavily influenced by nature and intricate metalworking techniques. This particular piece showcases a heavily chased, deep repoussé motif of detailed daisies and trailing vines along the rim. Originally designed as the underplate for a luxurious child's bowl, this heavy-gauge solid silver tray stands independently as a remarkable and highly collectible work of historical silver. A magnificent addition to any collection, its unpolished patina highlights the dimensional floral border, offering a touch of refined whimsy to any carefully styled interior.
