Tiffany & Co.'s Chrysanthemum is one of the most prestigious American sterling flatware patterns, and it sits at the apex of collector demand. Individual serving pieces can sell for hundreds to low thousands, and complete or large matched services reach well into five figures, with exceptional documented sets higher still. Value is driven by the Tiffany name, the pattern's rarity and heft, completeness, original condition and provenance. Because pieces trade far above melt value, this is appraisal territory: confirm the TIFFANY & CO / STERLING marks and get a professional valuation before selling — and never scrap it.

Frequently asked

Why is Tiffany Chrysanthemum so valuable?

It combines the Tiffany name, a rare and heavy Art-Nouveau design, and strong collector demand, so pieces trade far above their silver melt value.

Should I get it appraised?

Yes — given the high and variable values, confirm the marks and get a professional appraisal before selling rather than relying on a scrap or generic estimate.
