for the love of silver flatware

I have a small obsession with silver, especially teaspoons. I prefer collecting pieces with old monograms for character. Mixing them altogether makes for an interesting table setting and instigates conversation usually invoking a sense of nostalgia. Most have been finds from road trip antiquing; gathering Rogers, Gorham, Alvin, Tiffany & Co. and some coin pieces. These are some I polished, although I prefer a sloppy relaxed polish job leaving some evidence of oxidation and antiquity.  © images owned by StyleMaker™
