Stieff silver refers to the work of The Stieff Company, a Baltimore-based silversmith founded in 1892 and long regarded for its exceptional craftsmanship in sterling silver flatware and hollowware. The firm became especially known for its ornate repoussé patterns—most famously the Stieff Rose pattern—crafted using traditional hand-chasing techniques that produced richly detailed floral surfaces. Stieff’s designs often reflected American decorative traditions, and the company earned a reputation for producing heirloom-quality pieces that balanced artistry with utility. In the mid-20th century Stieff expanded by acquiring other silver firms, including the Samuel Kirk Company, eventually merging their legacies. Today, Stieff silver is prized by collectors for its fine workmanship, distinctive repoussé decoration, and its place in the history of American silversmithing.
