In the 15th and 16th century, silver tableware
was made from silver coins, since the U.S. didn't have any silver
mines at the time. The coins were melted down, shaped, and hammered
to their final form (the final product was called "coin
silver", and it's still collected today).
Lafayette is a beautiful rendition of the
hand-hammered flatware of the colonial period. Made in a shiny
finish, in a heavy weight. It's currently the only 'teardrop'
handle shape available in the hammered style. The hammered finish
also appears on the reverse side. Designed by Wes Helmick.
