A highly elegant, complete pair of solid sterling silver salt and pepper shakers (muffineers) by the legendary American silversmiths at Gorham Manufacturing Company. Crafted in their renowned "Strasbourg" pattern (Model #1138), originally introduced in 1897, these shakers reflect the timeless romance of the updated French Rococo style.
The shakers feature a graceful, flowing musical shape reminiscent of a violin profile, balanced on a tiered pedestal foot. The upper body is beautifully adorned with heavily embossed repoussé scrollwork, leaf motifs, and flowing asymmetrical lines. The pierced dome lids twist off seamlessly and are finished with matching ornamental finials.
True to traditional high-end silvercraft, the interior and top of the salt shaker feature a protective faint gold wash (vermeil) to safeguard the precious metal from salt corrosion. Both bases are fully hallmarked with the authentic "Gorham Sterling 1138" stamp. A spectacular, luxurious addition to any holiday dinner table or fine silver collection.
