Catalog: Silver: Sterling

with high relief cast bust of Van Dyck, length 9 inches, weight 3.24 Troy ounces, no monogram. Truly one of Antoine Heller's greatest designs, and among Gorham's most sculptural patterns.

There is a file cut (visible from side and reverse only; see fourth photo) which we've pictured in excruciating detail, and some light pitting on the blade which we've mostly polished out and probably will address a bit more, as time allows. Aside from this, the condition is excellent.

length 5 7/8 inches, weight 1.29 Troy ounces, excellent condition, monogrammed as shown at top of bowl.

A fine old example of this scarce cast pattern, in which every piece is a little sculptural ode to past artists.

length 8 5/8 inches, total Troy weight 5.14 ounces, monogrammed as shown in bowl of spoon. The palm leaf gilding on reverse of fork is not quite so bold as on the spoon, and there is a slight blemish on the fork (see third enlargement) but the overall condition is fine.

Height 1 1/2; diameter 3 inches, no monogram, good condition. I hesitate to even mention that the gross weight is 5.5 Troy ounces because there seems to be some sort of wicking compound underneath the screen which allows for even and gradual burning...
