In 1869 The Tiffany Company introduced its first sterling silver flatware pattern, and appropriately named it "Tiffany". It was designed by Edward C. Moore and described by Osteberg as 'basically a modified Greek double-scroll surmounted by a shell like antefix'. Rising from the stem were small honeysuckle blossoms which flared outward. The pattern was reintroduced in in 1956 as Beekman.

I really find this pattern, Tiffany/Beekman to be very elegant. You have probably noticed the variations in the pattern- the elimination of the side knobs (leaves) was done for the 1956 re-introduction. The crest form can be semi-circular or pointed, even on early pieces. Another beautiful pattern of similar Classicism is Cook/ or Saratoga.
