Up for sale is an authentic, antique Gorham Manufacturing Co. Sterling Silver Teaspoon in the iconic, globally coveted Chantilly pattern (originally designed by William C. Codman and introduced in 1895).
This particular piece features the highly desirable, early \"Old Mark\" production tooling variant. Collectors specifically seek out this version because of its superior, crisp craftsmanship, characterized by the deeply recessed, pierced circular holes inside the floral cluster at the tip of the handle. This level of intricate three-dimensional scrollwork is not present on later mid-to-late 20th-century reproductions.
