Gorham, along with many other firms, produced numerous engraved designs in the 1880's especially that do not seem to be as appreciated today as they were in their time. It may be that the craft of these items is some subtle to compete with the more extravagant, and perhaps more obvious, High Victorian pieces that capture the collector's eye today. This 5 3/4" long sugar spoon in Gorham's engraved Chrysanthemum is a piece of compelling design, if quite ordinary in its purpose, and having been a... Click for details

Alvin's Majestic is a multi-motif floral line dating from the turn of the 20th century. Produced at the height of the art nouveau movement, it is decidedly in that manner, and successfully so. This 7 1/8" long piece with a pierced bowl is a sugar sifter. It weighs a solid 1.5 T. oz. The flower is a jonquil or narcissus. While most sifters have the bowls set at an angle to the handles, the two parts of this lie along the horizontal, and in this regard the form looks deceptively like a small ... Click for details
