Gorham, Chantilly Pattern, STERLING SILVER, Pie, Cake, Pastry, Server

Welcome to ROBINS NEST MIDWEST!

One of my consignors takes in a lot of silver flatware and hollow ware as part trade for sale of their jewelry. Some of the pieces are wonderful and I want to save as many as I can from being scrapped so I will be offering as many silver items I can.

Up for offer now…

AGE: C.1960 or so

ITEM: From Gorham in the Chantilly pattern, here's a pie, cake or pastry server. The top of the handle is monogrammed with the letter S - this server is part of a series of pieces that were custom made for a family in St. Louis.

CONDITION: Being vintage, there are light marks of use, storage and time. The patina is wonderfully warm and I try to only lightly polish for photos. There are no major defects like dings, dents or ugly blemishes that might spoil the beauty of the silver.

METAL CONTENT: Sterling Silver

HALLMARKS: STAINLESS on the serving blade. Along the side are engraved makers marks indicating that the set was custom made. These marks read as follows "MO S032 8235 2467 6150."

SIZE: Length is 9-7/8" approx. Width at the blade is 2-3/16"".

RETAIL TODAY: The replacement site wants $59.99; the auction site wants $40.

Anyone want?

FINAL COMMENTS: When I can, I will beat anyone’s price on RL. I want to turn over the silver inventory quickly so I can keep loading in more. St. Louis was a boom city in the 1800s and the silver inventory here is legendary. For those who know, the 1904 World’s Fair held one of the largest competitions in silver design – all the big maker names of the day competed and a lot of the winning pieces stayed in St. Louis after the Fair ended. So keep watching my listings, I never know what I am going to have week to week – all I know is it will be varied, fabulous and deserving of a good home.
