DESCRIPTION
A breathtaking 48-piece Gorham Strasbourg Gold sterling silver flatware service for twelve, featuring the iconic full gold vermeil handles with deeply chased Rococo scrollwork that has made this pattern one of the most coveted in American silver history. Each piece is hallmarked on the reverse with Gorham's classic lion passant, anchor, and script 'G' marks alongside the 'GORHAM STERLING' stamp, confirming genuine .925 sterling silver construction with luxurious 24-karat gold vermeil overlay on the ornate handles. The set is presented in a Naken silverware chest lined in rich burgundy felt, providing elegant storage and protection for this heirloom-quality service. Strasbourg Gold represents the pinnacle of Gorham's decorative silver arts tradition, and a complete 48-piece set in this desirable gold accent variant is exceptionally rare to find intact.
CONDITION REPORT
The sterling silver flatware is in very good to excellent condition overall, with brilliant polish and no significant monogramming, deep scratches, or loss to the gold vermeil handles noted. Some expected minor tarnishing is visible on the undersides of handles, consistent with age and storage — easily remediated with professional silver polish. The Naken wooden storage chest displays light surface wear commensurate with use but remains fully functional with intact burgundy felt lining and secure hardware.
