- Lot Description
Charles Osborne for Sweetser Co. (Sweetser & Evans) sterling silver and 14K gold-inlaid engraved centerpiece bowl, struck to underside "Sterling / & 14K / 6038 / S&E," before 1920, circular, engraved and bordered in gold in the Chinese taste, with hand-engraved scrolling floral motifs and "Cloud" borders and rims in the manner of Manchu embroidery inlaid in 14K gold. Weight: 11.06 ozt.; 2" H x 7.75" diameter.
Provenance: From a Rye, NY collection.
Note: This bowl, in the Chinese taste popular in the 1920s, is an excellent example of what made the short -lived Sweetser Company famous; the inlay of 14K gold wire into engraved and chased designs against a burnished surface.This rare bowl is a stunning and large example from the Sweetser Company. They created a line of silver holloware with a signature style of applying 14-carat gold wires and incorporating them into their designs. The Sweetser Company. Various mentions in The Jewelers' Circular state that Emory B. Sweetser was a salesman and later a manager for Gorham in Boston. In 1906, after 20 years at Gorham, Sweetser began The Sweetser Company at 124 E. 64th St in NYC along with Henry C. Evans. Between 1915-1920 many pieces are stamped S&E for "Sweetser & Evans."
In 1915, Charles Osborne, a former designer for both Tiffany and Whiting/Gorham left Whiting to work as a designer for Sweetser until his death in 1920. This bowl bears many similarities to several late documented works by Osborne.
