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.
			Adam Originally made by Whiting in 1907. Adam is a "reissue" of classic sterling silver patterns with a limited number of available items.
			Bead The classic bead border flatware pattern, in sterling silver. Every flatware manufacturer offers some form of this timeless design.
Complete List of Gorham Sterling Patterns Adam Bead Buttercup Camellia Chantilly Colfax Dauphin Fairfax King Edward La Scala Lily Medici Melrose Newport Scroll Old French Old Orange Blossom Rose Tiara Strasbourg Townsend			Buttercup Strong relief design with factory applied tarnish to really showcase the buttercups. One of Gorham's most popular patterns.
			Camellia A once-great pattern with Gorham, it's now been discontinued, and we have a few items remaining in stock.
			Chantilly Chantilly is arguably the most popular sterling silver pattern of all time, named after the famous palace of Chantilly, located near Paris. Louis XV era design.
			Colfax First made in 1922 by William B. Durgin Co., the same company that created the very similar Fairfax pattern 12 years earlier. Colfax is an excellent choice if you are a fan of the very popular Fairfax pattern, but would like a little more design work.
			Dauphin Another Durgin original, first made in 1897. This pattern is stunning in person, so be sure to click on the handle closeup to fully appreciate the detail (as best as you can online, anyway).
			Fairfax Yet another Durgin creation (5 out of the first 7 patterns on this page were originally made by William B. Durgin Co.), Fairfax is a hugely popular pattern with a wide variety of available items.
			King Edward An original Gorham pattern from 1936, but very similar in design to Reed and Barton's powerhouse pattern Francis I. If you're trying to decide between the two, go with Francis I.
			La Scala La Scala is a fairly recent creation, debuting in 1964.
			Lily Another delightful pattern originally created by the Whiting Co., which you'll want to view the closeup photos of to appreciate the complexity of this design.
			Medici Medici was introduced in 1971, and has a slightly heavier feel to it than most sterling silver patterns in its price range.
			Melrose First made in 1948, with a nice, weighty feel. Be sure to see Delacourt by Lunt before you buy.
			Newport Scroll Newport Scroll is the youngest pattern available by Gorham, first appearing in 1983. You may also like 18th Century by Reed and Barton.
			Old French This classic thread-border design first appeard in 1905. Most silver manufacturers have similar designs available, and there are several versions in stainless steel as well.
			Old Orange Blossom Another stunningly beautiful pattern created by Alvin Sterling, first made in 1905. The blossoms appear to pop out of the handle; slightly larger than life.
			Rose Tiara Delicate roses, gentle scrolls. Be sure to see Modern Victorian by Lunt, and French Provincial by Towle Silversmiths.
			Strasbourg Strasbourg was first introduced in 1897, at the tail-end of a French Rococo resurgence. One of Gorham's most popular patterns.
			Townsend Sadly, the Townsend pattern has been discontinued by Gorham, but we do have a few items remaining in stock.
