Brand: Gorham,Pattern: Floral Repousse,Age: 1887,Composition: Sterling Silver,Maker: Gorham,Year Made: 1887,Country of Origin: United States Presented is a beautiful, old 5 piece sterling silver tea and coffee set made by Gorham in 1887. The top half of each piece is covered in very fine quality repousse decorations. The raised flower and leaf decorations are finely hand chased. The bottom half of each piece has a paneled or melon form and the interiors of the creamer in the sugar bowl still have a nice gold wash. There is a fine monogram on the underside of each piece that reads: APK from Post 113 GAR June 7, 1887. The undersides are marked with the Gorham hallmark, sterling and a 1887 date symbol. This set is in excellent condition, especially for its age. The insulators on both the teapot and the coffeepot are in excellent condition and both handles are tight to the body. There are three very minor dents, one on the sugar bowl one on the coffeepot and one on the creamer. All three of these are on the lower portion of the bodies, but they are hardly visible unless closely inspected. There are no major dents, no breaks, no splits, no monogram removals and no repairs. The combined weight of this set is 2694 grams or 95 ounces. The coffee pot holds approximately 6 1/2 cups or 52 ounces. The teapot holds approximately 4 1/2 cups or 36 ounces.
