Chrysanthemum by Durgin

Durgin's Chrysanthemum pattern introduced in 1893 is, in my humble opinion, one of the finest examples of the art reached by the silver makers of the Victorian period. Some will consider this too ornate, but the detail in the design is what makes it so spectacular. George A. Muller designed this pattern for Durgin. The heavy floral pattern is in deep relief over each piece, with an opening left on the terminal suitable for engraving. The design even flows onto the bowls and tines of some pieces.
