ITEM SPECIFICS:
Gorham’s “Chantilly” pattern could be considered even more popular than the Martelé style. If not taking the title as the most popular sterling hollowware line that has ever been made by the maker. As another accordingly masterful design credited to Codman, the Chantilly pattern debuted in 1895. Evidently drawing inspiration from aesthetics of seventeenth-century French King Louis XIV. As such, Gorham Chantilly pieces feature a fleur-de-lis motif paired with Rococo-style scrollwork and floral accents.
From silverware to tea services, antique silver has become a timeless staple of an entertainer’s toolkit. Over the years, silver manufacturers around the world have introduced a variety of innovative techniques. Altogether, these motifs have rendered their name in a class of its own. Among the most turned-to American makers is Gorham silver, a name made famous by landmark commissions for Presidential families, major awards, and other prominent projects. However, beyond the company’s special commissions, Gorham’s prolific production of tea sets, serving trays, candelabra, napkin rings, silverware and more remain one of the most popular searches among Invaluable collectors. The most popular patterns are still available, hence the prices they fetch at auctions today.
This vintage Gorham Chantilly Silverware Set is prefect for any silverware collection!
