This piece is one of a series of knives (and forks) that Gorham produced circa 1880 which had sterling silver blades and multi-colored bronze handles.

Information about this line varies some, with the following all taken from Charles Carpenter, Jr.'s definitive Gorham Silver. He indicates the knives were derived from "Japanese prototypes" which "were . . . small ko-gatama knives with removable push-on handles called kodzuka [note spelling as kozuka seems to be in...

Little antique Victorian French solid silver chatelaine piece. It has raised mistletoe leaves and berries. It is a very detailed piece with art nouveau styling and would be beautiful on a chain as a pendant. This is an antique piece dating to the turn of the century / Art Nouveau era. It has a button on the side that you slide up and down to retract the pencil. Comes with the original pencil but what is seen in photos is fully extended, so just a very short amount of pencil remains. NO... Click for details

Very ornate and beautiful reticulated bon bon or nut serving spoon / scoop, or tea strainer spoon made by Watson in their Columbine motif from their Floral Series #2 which began production in 1902. Designed by Eustace Crees and Charles S. Court. Pretty details on the front and back of the handle typical for their Floral Series but this one is especially rare in that it has the decorated bowl with art nouveau style ribbons and flowers. Not many of these out there. The flower on the... Click for details

Here is a very rare piece - an antique Victorian era French solid sterling silver handled dish / porringer or fondue pot. It even has a formed pourer on the one side and a fantastically turned wood handle. I believe the handle is ebony as it is a very dark wood. The mistletoe is applied and not repousse, making the inside of the bowl smooth and sturdy. Using the hallmarks for information, this was made by Adolphe Boulenger who operated in Paris from 1876 to 1899, so a true Victorian era... Click for details

ABOUT: I absolutely love the art nouveau design of this little antique French silver rattle. Perfectly round ball decorated with mistletoe and a round handle. It would be beautiful as an ornament or could be removed from the handle with the ball worn as a large pendant. Beautiful raised mistletoe details with some goldwash accents faintly remaining on the top where it connects to the handle, and on the bottom where the seam and two cut outs for sound are. It has two loops, one smaller... Click for details

ABOUT: This cute Art Deco era piece comes from Tiffany's youth or juvenile line - "Nursery Rhyme". Here we have a fun and whimsical cup or mug in the Jack and Jill motif. VERY sturdy / heavy piece. I have a Tiffany nursery rhyme flatware set so please check out my other listings. NO MONOGRAMS ON THE CUP! Fantastic depiction of Jack and Jill, I believe it is acid etched because the inside of the cup is smooth / thick silver. Has a linear detail around the rim and a sturdy hand feel...

ABOUT: Very interesting form that I have not seen before. Fantastic trophy? or perhaps a gravy boat, bon bon, nut or sugar dish / bowl made by Durgin, one of the finest makers of the time, dating to the turn of the century! Very nice quality in an interesting ship / boat / gondola form. Dated 1906 with no other personalizations which made me wonder if it was given at a boat race or something. I am unsure of its history but it is a nice size that would hold candies or nuts or be used as a... Click for details

ABOUT: I love sterling silver and this is a lovely little offering from the Victorian era / late 1800s made by Gorham Mfg. Co. in an acid etched floral aesthetic design. It is a perfume flask, I believe it was meant to be carried in a purse or pouch as it does not have a loop for a chatelaine chain. I poured water in it to make sure it has no leaks. I also discovered when I was emptying the water out that they shaped it so that it lets the liquid out a few drops at a time (instead of... Click for details

ABOUT: Love the whimsical design on this Dominick and Haff enamel accented serving pieces in the Renaissance pattern. My husband and I use our Renaissance piece especially at the holidays because the face on both the handle and the back side looks like Santa Claus : ) These are over 9 inches each and HEAVY / sturdy pieces. This pattern dates to 1894 and was designed by Gilbert L. Crowell, Jr., so this set dates to that time frame or early 1900s at the latest. It's an interesting pattern on... Click for details

ABOUT: Perfect for your Table! Over 9 inches each and HEAVY antique Reed & Barton Sterling Silver salad serving set in the larger size, and these are the older version. They are dated "1878-1903" which provides a lovely provenance and how romantic that they were given to commemorate a 25th anniversary! No other monograms on them, no initials or names on the pieces. Faint GOLDWASH remains in the bowls which is really neat because the white sterling design of the handle extends into the... Click for details

ABOUT: Very substantial piece by Durgin from the Victorian Era, one of the largest canisters I have held. I believe due to size it is a tea caddy, but could have other uses. Large repousse solid sterling silver caddy, canister, powder box or vanity jar. Dates to the late 1800s as evidenced by the old Durgin hallmark. Not often found and very eye catching with the larger size. Lovely rose / floral and scroll design. Would be beautiful on your dining table, for tea time, or in a... Click for details

An original production piece of Reed & Barton's "Les Six Fleurs," this full size dinner fork measures 7 3/4" long and weighs an exceptionally heavy 2.4 T. oz.

An extravagant design, this embodies all the elements of the Art Nouveau sensibility, with its high relief, seemingly liquid, portraiture of sinuous floral elements entwined with one another throughout the length of the handle, carrying clear onto the cup of the heel.

The backside is relatively plain, with trailing leaves framing the... Click for details

Smaller than a full-size tea, and larger than a demitasse, these 4 3/4" long, not quite 1.0 T. oz. combined weight, pieces are (after dinner) coffee spoons.

A matched set, they were made by John Wendt and retailed by New York City's "Ball, Black & Co.," and so marked on the reverses, along with "Sterling."

The pattern is "Arabesque," often identified as "Monroe."

In exquisite condition, each piece is monogrammed "JC" in feathered script lettering, and has a bright gold wash on the bowl,... Click for details
