"Mid 19th century Whiting sterling silver spoon decorated in the Laureate pattern (introduced 1890) of daisies and vining leaves, monogrammed with the initials “EE.” Marked / originally purchased from Mermod, Jaccard & Co.
""Mermod, Jaccard is a retail jewelry company originally founded in St. Louis in 1829 by Louis Jacquard. He was joined by A.S. Mermod in 1845 and Goodman King in 1865, and the company became Mermod, Jaccard & King Jewelry Co.""
""Whiting Manufacturing Co traces its origin to the firm Tifft & Whiting formed in 1840 by Albert C. Tifft and William Dean Whiting.
After the retirement of Tifft the firm changed to Whiting & Gooding (& Co) in 1853, Whiting Fessenden & Cowan (1858), Tifft Whiting & Co (1859, re-entering of Tifft), Whiting Cowan & Bowen (1864) until its forming as Whiting Manufacturing Co in 1866.
The factory, located in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, was destroyed by a fire in 1875. What was salvaged by the ruins was acquired by F, Jones and the production transferred to New York combining its manufacturing operations and offices into one building at 692-694 Broadway at Fourth Street.
The company was purchased by Gorham in 1924 and the production transferred to Providence, Rhode Island.
Whiting had relatively small production output but produced exceptional handmade silverware in relatively small quantities.
The Company's most famous and important designer was Charles Osborne. In the 1880's he worked for Tiffany for a period of time before returning to Whiting. His designs are some of the most important of the American aesthetic movement.
From 1905 to 1924 the firm marked its production with date symbols.
Whiting was absorbed by Gorham in 1926."
