Romance of the Sea by Wallace

Romance of the Sea by Wallace is yet another pattern designed by William Warren (who also designed Rose Point,  Sir Christopher, Grand Baroque  and Orchid Elegance).This is another example of Warren's excellent work. He can bring the memory of the great art nouveau period to a sterling pattern even in the 1950's when most patterns are bland and trying to stay modest. The lovely wave motif on the tip of the terminal and the design on the shoulder of the pieces speak for themselves.

Orchid Elegance by Wallace

Wallace introduced their Orchid Elegance pattern in 1956. It is one on many sterling flatware patterns named "Orchid". It is also one the patterns designed for Wallace by William Warren. Other patterns designed by him include Rose Point,  Sir Christopher, his pièce de résistance   Grand Baroque  . For a modern pattern this one is  much more beautiful than most. The orchid on the end is reminisce of the art nouveau patterns of the height of sterling design. The clean lines with the subtle twist of the stem and lines on the different pieces set it apart from the modern very plain pieces of the 50's.

Grande Baroque By Wallace

A design by William Warren, said to take 4 years to complete. The top of the piece is an Acanthus leaf and below that is a sophisticated pattern of beautiful flowers and leaves. The forks have narcissus in their design, the knives a rose, and five petaled flowers can be seen on the spoons. His inspiration was the romance of the 16th century. It is one of the patterns called "three dimensional" because the designs can be seen from three sides: the front, back, and from the side.

Sir Christopher by Wallace

This pattern was designed by William Warren, one of Wallace's top designers (he also designed Grand Baroque). Lifetime Sterling describes the pattern as, "Renowned royal architect Sir Christopher Wren was the inspiration for this ornate pattern introduced in 1936. The High English Renaissance styling and the concept of beauty as a whole is translated into the harmonious proportions in the center shell-symbolizing the sea-surrounded by an intertwining array of foliage, fruit, and flowers, typifying fertility. The sculptural grandeur and fine detailing is evident from every angle of this magnificent flatware ideal for traditional and formal settings and every dining occasion."
