Above is an Aesthetic Movement Sterling silver tea and coffee service with applied accents from Bigelow & Kennard. Found in 1830 by John Bigelow, Bigelow & Kennard was among the leading silver merchants of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As many antiques enthusiasts know, the Aesthetic Movement (18775-1885) was an American and British phenomenon based in the philosophy of the “cult of beauty” where its proponents endeavored to elevate all objects to works of art. This beautiful work certainly qualifies. AAA Silver/Nathan Horowicz Gallery can be reached here about this item.
