Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends
5444f $215.00

Gorham 'Buckingham' Solid Sterling Silver Gravy Ladle
Silver : Sterling : Flatware
Old Friends
5438f $70.00
Issued in 1910, Buckingham bears a strong resemblance to Gorham's companion and immensely successful Chantilly line that was introduced fifteen years earlier.
