Gorham, Chantilly Pattern, STERLING SILVER, 7" Sauce Ladle, 75 Grams

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: Originally produced in 1895.

ITEM: From Gorham, here's a gravy ladle, sauce ladle in the Chantilly pattern - a nice, heavy piece with a honey bee double spout. No monogram.

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. If a high shine is desired, all that’s needed is another polish. For sheer perfection of look, then a professional polish by a jeweler will make the silver gleam!

METAL CONTENT: Sterling Silver

HALLMARKS: Gorham STERLNG

SIZE: Length is around 7" on a straight line; width at the bowl is 2-1/2".

WEIGHT: 75 grams - yes, a heavy piece!

RETAIL TODAY: The replacement company wants $103.35 (down from$149.95) while the auction site sold one of this weight for $55.

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.
