An extraordinary, highly comprehensive 95-piece estate collection of Gorham Sterling Silver flatware in the iconic "Strasbourg" pattern. Originally introduced in 1897, this timeless Rococo-style design features elegant scrolling borders and a classic plume/shell motif at the tip of each handle. It brings a sophisticated, historic charm to formal dining.
While built as an expansive service for 8, the impressive 95-piece count reflects a grand multi-piece place setting for each guest—ensuring proper utensils for every course from appetizers to dessert—along with an extensive collection of specialized host and hostess serving pieces. The entire collection comes housed in its original dark mahogany finish flatware chest featuring two tiered drawers, completely lined in deep anti-tarnish felt to protect the silver.
Set Composition:
8 Place Settings (Multi-Course Configuration): Includes Dinner Knives, Dinner Forks, Salad/Dessert Forks, Teaspoons, Soup Spoons, Iced Tea Spoons, Demitasse/Coffee Spoons, Oyster/Cocktail Forks, and Individual Butter Spreaders.
Hostess & Serving Essentials: Features an array of rare serving pieces such as a pierced tomato server, gravy ladle, large cold meat serving fork, sugar spoon, master butter knife, napkin rings and pastry/pie server. (Note: Exact internal distribution totals 95 pieces).
