FAQs

Gorham Manufacturing Company is one of Americas oldest and most prominent silversmithing firms, established in Providence, Rhode Island in the early 19th century, renowned for producing exceptional quality sterling silver tableware and hollowware.

These pieces are crafted from sterling silver, containing 925 parts per thousand of pure silver alloyed with copper for durability, frequently featuring hand-chased details, repousse work, and interior gilding known as vermeil.

Authentic pieces bear the official Gorham makers marks, which historically include the lion, anchor, and gothic letter G, alongside the designation sterling and often a specific product code or patent date.

These metallic vessels add a layer of historical contrast to modern spaces, functioning effectively as display objects on sideboards, coffee tables, or open shelving to reflect light and introduce textural variety.

Preservation requires regular dusting with a soft microfibre cloth, occasional gentle cleaning with specialist silver polish free of harsh abrasives, and storage in tarnish-resistant cloth in a controlled climate.
