Patented in 1903, the Frontenac pattern was created by designer John T. Clulee and quickly became one of the most celebrated American silver flatware patterns in the Art Nouveau style. Distinguished by its sinuous floral motifs and graceful detailing, it remains highly sought-after among collectors. The present service is especially desirable for its remarkable completeness and for the absence of monograms or any evidence of monogram removal.

Minor wear commensurate with age and minimal use.
