1950 REED & BARTON KING FRANCIS ORNATE MIDCENTURY ROCOCO LG. CAKE STAND 14 1/2. The Reed & Barton story began in 1824, when Isaac Babbitt created a new metal alloy – “Britannia metal” – in his Taunton, Massachusetts pewter shop. Babbitt joined forces with craftsmen Henry G. Reed and Charles E. Barton to produce this innovative, higher quality pewter ware. When Babbitt encountered financial difficulties, Reed & Barton offered to take control and began manufacturing products under their own names. The fledgling company’s goods reflected uncompromising standards of excellence, starting with its initial silverplate products and extending to the exquisite sterling silver creations that resulted from the silver discoveries of the late 1800s. Rococo inspired king Francis as one of the most sought after designs ever created by the original Reed& Barton company. For your consideration the large chased cake stand in excellent conditions showing no monogram, cuts, wear trough or specks, substantial mirrored platting, solid quality manufacture with detailed raised chased and intricate castings shaping the infamous pattern applied around the cropped borders.
