Additional Information: This impressive Reed & Barton Les Six Fleurs pattern sterling silver flatware service comprises 84 pieces designed for twelve place settings. Introduced in 1901 and designed by noted artist Charles A. Bennett, Les Six Fleurs is one of Reed & Barton’s most celebrated Art Nouveau patterns. Its name translates from French as “The Six Flowers,” referencing the six floral motifs incorporated into the handle design, commonly identified as the wild rose, peony, poppy, orchid, fleur-de-lis, and forget-me-not. The pattern exemplifies the Art Nouveau movement’s fascination with natural forms, flowing lines, and botanical ornamentation, resulting in a richly detailed design that remains highly regarded more than a century after its introduction. Some pieces have monograms on the backs.

The elegant handles display crisp floral decoration and graceful sculptural modeling characteristic of the finest American silver craftsmanship of the early twentieth century. Large sterling silver services in this pattern are especially sought after by collectors and silver enthusiasts for their decorative appeal, historical significance, and versatility in both formal dining and display. Combining exceptional artistry, craftsmanship, and one of Reed & Barton’s most enduring designs, this extensive 84-piece service represents a distinguished addition to any collection of fine sterling silver.
