New Sterling Silver Flatware, Silverware - Page 1 of 2

Towle Silversmiths can trace its roots back to the year 1690, and remains one of the country's most prestigious silver manufacturers. Its history is intertwined with the creation of Lunt Silversmiths, but the two companies are not connected.

Today, Towle Silversmiths is owned by the Lifetime Brands corporation, which also produces Wallace Silversmiths and the International Silver Company products. We've heard the name pronounced several different ways over the years, but the correct pronunciation sounds like "toll".

Patterns in Active Production

Chippendale
Inspired by the famous furniture maker, Thomas Chippendale. If you would prefer a bolder statement, be sure to see English Chippendale by Reed and Barton.

French Provincial
A quieter take on French Renaissance design. If the flagship Towle pattern "Old Master" has too much design work for you, but you like the overall shape, this is an excellent and popular choice.

Grand Duchess
This is one of our favorite patterns, and the design appears to keep the monogram circle suspended in mid-air. Beautifully done scroll work, and a tasteful floral accent.

King Richard
The unique oval surrounded by tiny beadwork has inspired questions about its origin, and relation to its namesake, King Richard the Lionhearted. Unfortunately, Towle doesn't have good notes about this pattern from the designer.

Old Master
Towle's most popular pattern, introduced in 1942. Old Master features a wide variety of available items.

Old Newbury
Most silver manufacturers have a beaded border pattern, and Towle's offering features an apex, rather than a rounded end. You may also like Triumph by Tuttle, which is very, very heavy.

Old Newbury Gold
Old Newbury Gold is currently the only sterling silver pattern available with a gold-accented border encompassing the entire length of the handle.

Queen Elizabeth I
Named for the last ruler of the Tudor dynasty, and namesake of the Elizabethan era. Queen Elizabeth is a weighty pattern that remains one of Towle's most popular in sterling silver.

Made to Order Patterns

Benjamin Franklin
Traditional fiddle shape body, thread border, and shell design.

Candlelight
The original, and still the best! Candlelight was introduced in 1934, and several years later a host of imitators was released by rival silver manufacturers.

Celtic Weave Gold
One of the most unique sterling silver patterns available, featuring a very complex Celtic knotwork design.

Colonial Thread
Very traditional teardrop shape body with threaded border. Ideal for custom engraving.

Craftsman
Craftsman was introduced in 1932, but it still keeps a modern feel to it with a chiseled edge. Pairs well with contemporary and classic dinnerware.

El Grandee
El Grandee incorporates some of the Baroque flair and curves found in Grande Baroque by Wallace, but with more of a Spanish flavor and pierced handles.

Fontana
Fontana features a subtle Victorian flair, similar to Hampton Court by Reed and Barton. It debuted in 1956, at the beginning of a Victorian revival in popular design.

Georgian
Originally called "Grecian", due to its well-stated column design, which appears on both sides of the handles.
