| This is a beautiful set of twelve sterling silver goblets by the premier American silversmiths at Gorham in a wonderful Victorian design. Each goblet stands on a circular, trumpet-shaped base and has a large, rounded cup. The base and cup have been elaborately chased and repoussed with grape clusters, vines, and leaves in high relief, rendered with various textures. The decoration frames a cartouche engraved with the initials TWR. The dynamic and exuberant decoration on this goblet resembles the Baltimore silver of Kirk & Sons and demonstrates the tremendous skill of the Gorham silversmiths.
Each goblet is in excellent condition with beautifully articulated chasing and repousse, and its original gold wash interior.
Each measures approx. 6 5/8" high, and 3 1/8" in diameter.
Each is marked under the base with the maker's mark of the Gorham Manufacturing Company, the word Sterling, the date symbol for 1917, and pattern number 336A. This lovely set of antique silver wine goblets would make a striking addition to any table, and is a superior example of American silversmithing. Price: $18,500.00 Stock #BD671 |
