The bowl is plum-shaped, has a flanged rim, a slightly pointed tip, and is finished in a mostly intact gold wash. The condition is excellent. There are scant signs of wear, and no damage wha...

Paye & Baker's Poppy was a very successful art nouveau design. It is lush, sinuous and redolent with a sense of plush Victorian summer gardens. P&B effected a gray finish to the silver in this pattern, which enhanced the design further. This item is a 7 1/8" long, sterling silver horseradish spoon, as identified in the company's 1908 catalog. It is in flawless condition, and without a monogram or monogram removal. Marks are P & B inside hearts, and Sterling.

These six round soup or bouillon spoons are early examples of Gorham's Strasbourg. Each piece is stamped with a lion, anchor, G and the word Sterling. This mark may predate the one that includes "Patent 1897," suggesting these could be among the earliest production in this line. Each spoon has a cursive "H" monogram and flanged shoulders. The condition of all six is outstanding, with no evident polishing wear, and well-shaped, smooth bowls.

This cream or sauce ladle in Gorham's Strasbourg is 5 1/2" long. It is an older piece, with the lion, anchor, G, Patent 1897, and Sterling marks. It has scalloped edge, flanged shoulders on the bowl, which also retains a very pale residue of an original matte gold wash. The condition is very good. There is no monogram or removal; the form is excellent. The interior of the bowl has fine scratches consistent with age.

Gorham's Isis is an Egyptian Revival 1870 design that, popular in its time, continues to hold great allure to the present day. This example is a 6 5/8" long, sterling silver sugar spoon. It has an Old English "B" monogram, that, curiously, straddles the right angle formed by two facets of the four-sided, hollow handle. This application must have presented a modest challenge to the engraver, whose skills were equal to the task given the precisely aligned result. The condition is very good. T... Click for details

Wedding is a thoroughly engaging, figural pattern produced by Gorham in the 1860's. It features a pair of cast and applied doves flirtatiously kissing as they are perched, wings spread, atop a festooned shield handle end. This piece is a 9 1/8" long serving spoon, with a flowing "EIS" (?) monogram. The bowl is unusual in that it has a central groove and pointed end, rather than the more commonly found rounded end with a smooth base. The condition is excellent, with no signs of wear, and a fi...

Gorham produced a series of hollow-handle items in the 1870's which remain without an identified pattern name. This 8" long, sterling silver sugar sifter, or possibly ice spoon, is an example of the line. It has a satin matte finish, with banding and bright cutting on the handle. The 2 1/4" square bowl is intricately pierced and engraved, and has four vee shaped channels that merge in the center of the base. The form and cutting on the bowl suggests a palmetto or lotus leaf, similar in style... Click for details

Wood & Hughes produced several Medallion designs during the mid 1860's period, and this version may be the most noble of the assemblage. It features a raised female bust set on a shield shaped ground. This is joined to a twisted stem that is capped by a rosette. The reverse of this 6 1/2" long spoon is engraved in cursive, "Elvira Carrie Adams," suggesting it was a youth spoon. The condition is flawless.

This large, 9 7/8" long, pie server is an early example of Whiting's King Edward. It retains its original silver-plated blade (later pieces have stainless steel blades). The hollow handle is sterling, so stamped, along with the Whiting emblem, on its edge. The piece has a provenance that also attests its age. One side of the handle reads, "Trist Club, Phila.," and the other "May, 1905." The condition is remarkably fine for this vulnerable form. The blade is even, without bubbling or loss o...
