Silver Lyon Posts: 363 Registered: Oct 2004	posted 09-07-2006 01:27 PM Tiffany exhibited at the Paris Exhibition of 1878. English Birmingham makers Elkington & Co. did so also. This is a note from the archives of Elkington & Co. in which their manager at the Exhibition is having thoughts about the rival silversmiths' products!! IP: Logged

Probably designed by Eugene Soligny for Tiffany & Co., and originally made for the Centennial Exposition in 1876 in Philadelphia. IP: Logged
