Description :

1890 Repoussé Sterling Condiment Set with Kirk & Son Mark


This five-piece antique American sterling silver condiment set includes two tall repoussé footed shakers, one open salt bowl, and two small salt spoons, all exhibiting a unified high-relief floral repoussé design. The tall baluster-form shakers stand on three hoofed legs and feature pierced domed lids topped with molded floral finials. Their chased decoration flows uninterrupted from the feet through the body and into the lid. One of the shaker lids is clearly stamped on the underside with “STERLING” and the manufacturer’s hallmark “S. Kirk & Son Co.”, identifying it as a product of the prominent Baltimore silversmith known for intricate repoussé silverwork during the late 19th to early 20th century. The matching open salt bowl carries repoussé decoration of similarly dense blooms and foliage. Its interior base is engraved “1890”, and the underside is marked “STERLING”, confirming its silver content and production date. The accompanying pair of miniature salt spoons feature finely ribbed shell-form bowls and handles with raised floral designs. The back of each spoon is stamped “STERLING”, but no manufacturer name is present on either spoon. All five pieces share the same repoussé technique and consistent styling, suggesting they were produced contemporaneously and intended as a single set. The presence of the dated engraving, consistent silver markings, and the “S. Kirk & Son Co.” hallmark on the shaker lid affirms the set's authenticity and origin within the firm’s active sterling period. This is a complete, original, and hallmarked five-piece American repoussé sterling silver condiment service featuring work by S. Kirk & Son Co.
