Tufts\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eFounded in Boston in the mid-19th century, James W. Tufts became one of America's leading manufacturers of high-quality silver-plated hollowware. Pieces marked \"Quadruple Plate\" were produced with a heavier layer of silver than standard silverplate, making them both more durable and more desirable to collectors. The elaborate engraving and architectural motifs seen on this casket are classic examples of the Aesthetic Movement popular during the late Victorian era.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchorContainer\"\u003eA Note on Vintage:\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVintage items often carry gentle signs of age that add to their unique character.
