This fine sterling silver flatware collection was crafted by the renowned Gorham Manufacturing Company in the iconic "Strasbourg" pattern. Designed in 1897 by William C. Codman, "Strasbourg" draws inspiration from the lush, ornate decorative arts of the French Rococo period, featuring sweeping scrollwork, shell motifs, and graceful contours along the handle. Gorham, founded in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1831, was one of America's premier silversmiths, and this timeless late 19th-century pattern remains one of their most celebrated and enduring designs.
The collection comprises 58 total pieces arranged across place settings and specialized serving pieces. The solid sterling elements include table forks, salad forks, teaspoons/table spoons, specialty forks, specialty serving spoons/ladles, a serving fork, two large serving spoons, and a master butter knife. Mixed-material and hollow-handled pieces in this lot consist of 15 table knives (split into two slightly different style groupings), 8 individual butter knives, and 1 cake/pie server.
The total weighable weight for this collection is 1,552 grams of solid sterling silver. Bidders should note that this weight excludes all 15 table knives, 8 butter spreaders, and 1 cake/pie server, as these items feature hollow sterling handles paired with stainless steel blades or implements. All remaining 34 solid sterling flatware and serving pieces contribute to the 1,552-gram weighable total.
