Strasbourg Place Fork
Strasbourg Sterling Silver Flatware by Gorham
What is .925 Sterling Silver?
The Short Answer:
Sterling silver consists of at least 92.5 percent silver and 7.5% percent of other metals like copper, nickel, or both. The reason for this is Pure Silver or Fine Silver, is very soft and very malleable making it easy to damage or bend. Other metal alloys like copper or nickel are added to the silver to make a more durable piece.
All items sold by Silver Superstore as “Sterling Silver” contain at least 92.5% percent Silver and are stamped with either “.925”, “Sterling Silver”, or both.

What does " w/stamp " mean?
As of April 2022, Fortessa is no longer stamping their logo in their flatware pieces. We do have some stock left of the stamped versions. If you are looking to match your older, stamped, pieces you will want to select the pieces denoted with “w/stamp”.

Introduced by Gorham in 1897, the Strasbourg pattern has remained one of the most celebrated sterling silver designs in American history.

The result is a pattern that feels luxurious and decorative while maintaining an enduring sense of refinement and versatility.
Crafted in genuine .925 sterling silver with a luminous glossy finish, this place-size fork offers exceptional balance and comfort in hand. Its elegant proportions make it ideal for luncheon service, salads, entrées, and traditional multi-course place settings.
