Wallace Sterling—officially the Wallace Silversmiths of Wallingford, Connecticut—rose to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as one of the major American names in sterling silver flatware and hollowware. Founded by Robert Wallace, the company built its reputation on both quality and innovation, introducing patterns that became household staples, like “Grande Baroque” and “Romance of the Sea,” which embody that lush mid-century American taste for opulent dining rituals. Their craftsmanship married European-inspired ornamentation with the efficiency of industrial production, giving their silver a sense of grandeur that was still attainable. Even as tastes shifted away from formal table settings, Wallace’s work retained its cultural shine—part nostalgia, part enduring symbol of a time when silverware wasn’t just functional but a form of social storytelling.
