William B. Durgin Company (1853–1924) American Sterling Silver Tray - 37.525 ozt. The rim is elaborately decorated with a repeating pattern of scrolls, foliage, and floral elements. This decorative border is quite ornate and gives the tray a classical, elegant appearance.
The Wm. B. Durgin Co. was a highly esteemed American sterling silver manufacturer, celebrated for its exceptional quality and significant contributions to American decorative arts. Founded by William B. Durgin in 1853, the company distinguished itself through its unwavering commitment to solid sterling silver and its production of influential designs, such as the widely popular Fairfax flatware pattern. Beyond domestic pieces, Durgin earned prestigious commissions, notably crafting the original Davis Cup, the esteemed international tennis trophy, and an elaborate silver service for the battleship USS New Hampshire, underscoring their prominence.
After its acquisition by the Gorham Manufacturing Company in 1905, Durgin's legacy continued through the production of its celebrated patterns. Today, pieces by Wm. B. Durgin Co. are highly sought after by collectors and can be found in renowned institutions like the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where they stand as enduring testaments to the company's artistic prowess and historical significance in American silversmithing.
