Massive Kirk Sterling Architectural Castle Landscape Repousse Tea Set 394 Tr Oz

  
THIS LOT IS FOR A MASSIVE VERY BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN STERLING SILVER 7 PIECE HAND CHASED ETRUSCAN REPOUSSE PATTERN FOUR PIECE COFFEE AND TEA SET MADE BY S KIRK & SON AND SPECIAL ORDERED AND RETAILED THROUGH LORING ANDREWS IN CINCINNATI, OHIO. I HAVE INCLUDED MANY, MANY PHOTOS OF THIS SET, PLEASE LOOK AT THEM ALL. THE TRAY AND THE REST OF THE SET WAS COMMISSIONED THROUGH LORING ANDREWS TO MATCH THE TEA URN IN THE LATE 1920s. THE WHOLE SET WAS PRESENTED FROM A HUSBAND TO HIS WIFE FOR THEIR 24TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY ON MAY 18TH, 1929.

IT IS WELL KNOWN THAT KIRK PRODUCED WORK FOR LORING ANDREWS AND THE MATCH OF THE REST OF THIS SET TO THE OLDER KIRK MARKED TEA URN IS SPOT ON AS YOU WOULD EXPECT. THE OTHER 6 PIECES IN THIS SET WERE ALL CHASED TO MATCH THE ORIGINAL TEA URN, BOTH ON THE FRONT AS WELL AS THE REAR. MY GUESS IS THAT THE OLDER TEA URN WAS A FAMILY HEIRLOOM AND MR ROBERT TAYLOR QUISENBERRY ORDERED THE REST OF THE SET AS A SURPRISE ANNIVERSARY GIFT FOR HIS WIFE, MARTHA ESTILL QUISENBERRY.

ALL OF THESE PIECES ARE BEAUTIFULLY MADE TO MATCH. THE TRAY IN THIS SET IS BREATHTAKING AND IN FACT THE NICEST LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL REPOUSSE TRAY I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE TRAY MEASURES 31" LONG X 20 1/4" WIDE AND WEIGHS 161.5 TROY OUNCES. THE TEA OR HOT WATER URN IS 20" TALL X 9 1/2" WIDE AND WEIGHS 75.5 OZT. THE COFFEE POT IS 15" TALL X 11" WIDE AND WEIGHS 51.2 OZT. THE TEA POT IS 13 1/4" TALL X 10 3/4" WIDE AND WEIGHS 44.5 OZT. THE COVERED SUGAR BOWL IS 9 1/4" TALL X 7" WIDE AND IS 24.2 OZT. THE CREAMER IS 9 1/4" TALL X 5 3/4" AND WEIGHS 17.1 OZT. FINALLY, THE WASTE BOWL IS 6 1/2" TALL X 5 1/4" AND WEIGHS 18.9 OZT. THIS SET HAS A TOTAL WEIGHT OF APPROXIMATELY 395 TROY OUNCES AND HAS BEEN MONOGRAMED AS SEEN IN MY PHOTOS. THERE IS ALSO A PRESENTATION ENGRAVED ON THE BACK OF THE TRAY. I HAVE PHOTOGRAPHED THE PRESENTATION AND YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO CLEARLY READ IT FROM THE PHOTOGRAPH. THIS TRULY IS A SPECIAL SET AND IS JUST ABOUT THE BEAST OF THE BEST. THE OPPORTUNITY TO AQUIRE A SET LIKE THIS IS TRULY A RARE OPPORTUNITY. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS. Check out my other items - opens in a new window or tab.
