Louvre by Wallace

William H. Tomey designed the pattern Louvre for Wallace which was introduced in 1893. The pattern is an ornate design with paisley swirls and a floral motif that follows the shoulder onto the bowl or tines of the serving pieces. It has an open space on the terminal suitable for engraving. In 1914 Wallace introduced a silver plated pattern also called "Louvre" but it is very simple in its lines and in no way resembles this sterling pattern.
