Gorham New Sterling Silver Flatware, Silverware |
|||
|
The story of Gorham begins in 1813, when Jabez Gorham completed his metalsmith apprenticeship and began making jewelry. In 1831, Jabez Gorham began manufacturing coin silver spoons, which were popular at the time for replacing pewter spoons. In 1848, Jabez Gorham sold the company to his son John Gorham, who oversaw the expansion from a small craftsman's workshop to one of the largest silver manufacturing plants in the world. In recent years, Gorham has been purchased
by several corporations, including Textron, and Brown-Forman
(maker of Jack Daniels and other distilled spirits). The patterns
are currently licensed for manufacture by Lifetime Brands, who
own the Wallace and Towle Silversmiths names. Gorham stainless
steel flatware is still manufactured by Lenox Brands. |
