Roses and Scrolls by Whiting

A lovely old pattern, Roses and Scrolls, was introduced in 1890. A design of roses are on the handle trailing down the stem. The design does not have a terminal. The decorations on the bowls of the spoons and the shoulders of the forks are just gorgeous. Also, the pattern lends itself to an old patina, like it was designed to age well. There was a reference that the pattern was also known as La Francais, but I could find no reference to La Francais.
