An elegant and increasingly scarce example of fine gentleman’s dressing accessories, this sterling silver shoehorn by Tiffany & Co. is crafted in the celebrated Persian pattern — one of Tiffany’s most ornate and enduring flatware designs.
Introduced in the late 19th century, the Persian pattern is distinguished by its rich repoussé-inspired scrollwork, flowing arabesques, and intricate hand-finished detail. The elaborate decoration seen throughout the handle reflects the height of the Victorian fascination with exoticism and artistry, while remaining unmistakably Tiffany in both quality and refinement.
The broad, polished shoehorn blade contrasts beautifully against the deeply detailed handle, creating a piece that is both functional and decorative. A personalized monogram further enhances its character and individuality, reminding us of an era when even everyday personal accessories were commissioned with elegance and permanence in mind.
Marked “Tiffany & Co. Sterling Silver,” this distinguished accessory would make a remarkable addition to a Tiffany silver collection, a sophisticated desktop or dressing room display, or an exceptional gift for the collector who appreciates rare and luxurious sterling silver objects.
A beautiful example of Tiffany craftsmanship — where utility meets artistry in the most timeless way.
