Gorham 'Chantilly' Old Sterling Silver Handle Roast Carving Steel

Part of a large carving set, this item measures 14 1/4" long.

The handle is hollow filled and comprises 5" of the total length of the piece, and is sterling silver, while the six-sided, pointed tip, sharpener is plated steel.

This is an early production item made by Gorham in its 1895 Chantilly pattern, marked "Sterling" and with the company's "lion, anchor, G" emblem imprinted on both sides of the edge of the handle at the place where it meets the guard.

The handle has a delicate, line script, engraved monogram which appears to be "ARB."

Apart from some incidental loss of plating and/or staining on the rod, this is in original condition. The handle is without dents, splits, or surface wear, shows a bright finish, and fits tightly with the steel.
