Sappho by Wallace

Sappho by Wallace (1895) is a lovely but unusual pattern. The strong motif on the terminal is repeated on the shoulders of the spoons and forks.  The design is unique but makes a pretty piece.

Romaine (aka Monique) by Reed and Barton

George L. Turner designed Romaine (which is also known as Monique) for Reed and Barton in 1933. Turner was also the designer of Reed and Barton's 1908 pattern Chambord. Romaine/Monique is a beautiful pattern with a design of leaves all about the terminal, the stem and the shoulder. The terminal has a nice open space for engraving.
