Gorham Marguerite Sterling Berry Spoon

The motif for Gorham's Marguerite is taken from the daisy of the same name. It is art nouveau in style, but gently so. The intricate details show especially well at the scale of this 8 3/8", relatively light, berry spoon. It is monogrammed with an Old English "A" on the reverse, and retains a portion of the original gold wash on the gently undulating bowl. The condition is excellent, with no signs of polishing wear, sharp detail on the design, and a bowl that is absent dents, dings, or burrs. Marks are the Gorham lion, anchor, G, Sterling, and Pat. 1901.
