1864 Gorham Medallion Sterling Silver Sifter Ladle, Warrior Terminal (68 g) MAX

$425.00
Introduced in 1864, Gorham's celebrated Medallion pattern stands among the most iconic achievements of nineteenth-century American silver design. Inspired by classical and ancient Mediterranean motifs, the pattern is distinguished by a series of finely modeled portrait medallions, each depicting figures in profile. This sterling silver sifter ladle features the desirable left-facing warrior terminal, crisply rendered in high relief, while the pierced bowl retains attractive remnants of its original gilt wash—a practical feature intended to protect the silver when serving fruits, preserves, or other acidic foods. Marked with Gorham's distinctive pseudohallmarks together with the PATENT and STERLING stamps, this ladle is an authentic example of one of America's most celebrated flatware patterns. Measuring 7½ inches in length and preserved in excellent condition, it represents a fine opportunity for collectors of Gorham Medallion, American sterling silver, or exceptional Victorian serving pieces. Dimensions: 7 1/2". Weight is about 68 grams.
