Details: The iconic “ Repoussé" silverware pattern made its debut in 1828, making it the oldest sterling silver pattern produced in the United States. To create this pattern, Samuel Kirk, a Philadelphia-trained silversmith, revived an ancient technique known as "repousse" to create an embossed design that's as versatile as it is unforgettable.
