This is a magnificent pattern! Some call it early art deco, but it is really neoclassical. Mixes and matches well with other patterns from same era (1910's), such as Tiffany's San Lorenzo, Wallace's Dauphine, Gorham's Etruscan, Whiting's, Mandarin, International's Trianon, and Shreve's Adam., For china, I suggest that you use one of these Lenox patterns<:: Old Colonial or Buchanan.
Personally with the 100's, maybe 1000's of sterling patterns out there, neoclassical is not my favorite. OK, I do not care for neoclassical at all. I can, however, appreciate the artistry that went into the design whether I care for it or not.
Without wishing to sound politically incorrect or sexist, I suspect that men prefer neo-classical while women lean toward art nouveau. Just a hunch. But you're right--it's all art.
