Kirk Stieff New Sterling Silver Flatware, Silverware |
|||
|
Kirk Stieff came into existence when the legendary Baltimore silver companies, Samuel Kirk & Sons, and Stieff Company, merged in 1979. Both companies were renowned for their revival of the Repousse style (meaning "raised in relief"), which is a difficult hand process for creating elaborate designs. Kirk Stieff was purchased by Brown-Forman (maker of Jack Daniels and other distilled spirits), then Lenox Brands. The patterns are currently licensed for manufacture by Lifetime Brands, who own the Wallace and Towle Silversmiths names. |
