~Sterling, Eagle-R-Lion, 1907 ~
NO MONOGRAMAn American Classic, Francis 1st by Reed & Barton continues to be as popular today as it was when it was introduced in 1907. The grandeur of this unique sterling silver pattern, designed by Ernest Meyers, is enhanced by its fifteen different fruit-and-flower clusters. Each handle bears one of these exquisitely detailed vignettes.

Marked with the old Reed & Barton hallmark. No splits or breaks. Light to normal wear condition.

The Francis 1st by Reed & Barton flatware pattern is an American sterling silver tableware pattern. The pattern was designed by Ernest Meyers and was named after King Francis I of France. Meyer’s goal was to create a pattern that surpassed the Renaissance-Baroque metalwork of Benvenuto Cellini. Cellini was a court artist and sculptor in the court of King Francis I, who ascended the French throne in 1515.

Identifying the Francis 1st pattern relies on the uniqueness of the design. Unlike many other flatware patterns, the Francis 1st pattern has fifteen different fruit-and-flower clusters and each of the handles contains one of these detailed designs. Many claim that the design idea was inspired by many tableware patterns of the Italian silver manufacturer, Cesa 1882.
To identify the pattern, the original backstamp featured a lion, an eagle, and the letter “R.” Around 1950 a new backstamp was used and that read “Reed and Barton.”
