^Ui- HE name Gorham is an accepted

synonym for all that is beautiful |

in the art of the silversmith.

It has been truly said, '' It is a

matter for national pride that the stamp of an American house is acknowledged a sure guarantee of sterling purity." That cer- tainly means much, when all English silverware must have the government stamp, or hall-mark, to insure the same.

In presenting this book of "Suggestions" the

Gorham Company hope that it will be found helpful as a guide to selecting articles suitable for presents for all occasions. For convenient reference the various articles are enumerated and alphabetically arranged in a general list, and

classified as follows :

Articles for breakfast and tea tables Jewelry and articles for Articles for dinner and dessert tables personal adornment Articles for library and Leather goods writing tables Loving cups and prizes Articles for the work basket Mounted glassware Buffet furnishings Presents for children Candelabra and candlesticks Silver models for the cabinet (toys) Chafing dishes and furnishings Smokers' articles College and university shields Souvenir spoons Cutlery Toilet articles Flat silverware for table use Umbrellas and parasols

The book is not a price list. It outlines simply a stock ever changing and growing in variety. The

Gorham Company will be glad to supplement it by furnishing detailed information regarding any particular article, accompanied by illustrations and prices of all the styles in which the goods are made.

Special attention is given to engraving coats of arms, crests, inscriptions, monograms, ornamental lettering, and all other work of the engraver. In the Order and Repair Department particular care is given to the carrying out of customers' instruc- tions articles of silver and jewelry can ; and ofttimes be made as good as new.

The Gorham Company chests are made in a special department of their works, from seasoned mahogany, oak and other hard woods, and, like

all their other productions, are of the highest

standard attainable, and add value to the wares

which they protect.

They can be supplied in any combination of forks, spoons and matched cutlery, with fancy

pieces if desired, in lots of three dozen and up-

wards, which can be arranged in almost endless

variety from the stock of the Gorham Company.

Compact cases are most convenient for keeping

knives, forks and spoons in good form.

Chamois rolls are also convenient for " putting

away " knives, forks and spoons.

35 { Loving Cups and Prizes

The silversmith has no more encouraging field for artistic endeavor than in the supplying of

loving cups and prizes incident to the remarkable growth of interest in athletic competitions and

out-of-door sports.

The wide popularity of golf in particular, and the multiplicity of competitive events and tourna- ments, has led to the making of an especially attractive assortment of cups and trophies care- fully designed to please the votaries of the royal game.

The Gorham Company have, for some years past, contributed the best talent of their designers and craftsmen to the production of work of this class, until it has become an important branch of their manufacture, not only in the quantity and value of the work done, but in the highly artistic results achieved.

But it is not alone for athletic prizes that this class of work is produced, as the occasions and anniversaries when gifts or testimonials of

unique special pieces of silver are appropriate are

37 !

I of constant occurrence and cover almost every phase of human interest and sympathy.

The loving cup, typical of that good fellowship which exists between the members of a group of kindred spirits, is supposed to have had its origin with King Henry the Fifth of England, who, while riding in the forest, called at the door of an inn for a cup of wine, which the awkward barmaid handed to him by the single handle, thus forcing the king to take it with both hands, thereby soiling his gloves. On his return home, deter- mined to guard against the recurrence of such a mishap, he ordered a mug made with two handles and sent it to the -inn with directions to reserve it for his use. What was his chagrin on the occasion of his next visit to see the same maid approaching, grasping in her hands the two handles of the cup, thus compelling the king to receive it in this awkward fashion. He then ordered another mug to be made for him with three handles, which proved a successful solution of the problem. While the love cup is a favorite form, the prizes and testimonials made by the

Gorham Company are by no means confined to

39 that style, but include tankards, vases, pitchers, punch bowls, waiters and other objects, in many of which most novel results have been secured through the use of ivory and stag horn in combination with the silver, and by the aid of vitrified enamels to produce oriental effects of color.

Those interested are invited to inspect the display of these special articles, at all times to be seen at the show rooms of the Gorham Company, who also solicit the opportunity to furnish special designs when required.

A large variety of patterns constantly in stock for immediate selection, and particular attention given to designing special cups and prizes for all occasions.

43 Jewelry and Articles for Personal Adorn- ment in Sterling Silver, Set with Stones and

Gilded, or not, as preferred

The Gorham Company

have constantly employed

special talent of a high

order, whose only concern

it is to design and produce

the interesting objects com-

prised under this classifica-

tion, and constant study and

experiment results in an

eclecticism which considers the artistic quality of the work rather than the intrinsic value of the materials employed. Thus, the use of sterling silver, with its wonderful quality of taking on various color tones under special treatment, and its ready adaptability

to bizarre effects by amal-

gamation with other metals m

Wh i and in combination with enamels and semi-precious stones, has brought about the result of making the silver-worker the true jeweler of to-day.

With those recurring seasons when fashion dictates changes in costume, and especially at the Easter and Christmas seasons, the cases of the Gorham Company will be daily replenished with the latest creations of the fancy of their in- dustrious workers in this interesting; field.

45 Illustrations of silver jewelry

are not published, but intend- ing purchasers who cannot call to make personal selection can be confident of satisfactory results by mentioning article and limit of price and

entrusting the selection to the Company ; or, if preferred, a selection will be sent on approval to parties making themselves known by reference.

For hundreds of years the silversmiths of

Holland have made toys of silver, and there

are to-day preserved in the cabinets of

many of the older New York families, toys

brought to this country, as among their prized possessions, by Dutch ancestors.

The Gorham toys are correct models in every detail of the objects they are intended to repre- sent, and as cabinet pieces will increase in value with the lapse of time.

Riding and Driving

The constant demand for the highest

class of accessories for those who ride

and drive has caused the Gorham

Company to devise a very complete

assortment of goods mounted in silver

or made entirely of that metal, and a

large stock from which to make selec-

tions is carried at all times.

The material used in the manufacture of the whips for every class of driving, and the riding whips and crops, is the best that can be procured, and the goods are made under the direction of the Gorham Company by the most approved makers, and the same may be said of all other articles of equip- ment which are not included within the art of the silversmith. The silver mountings are all of their own manufacture.

The Gorham Company manufacture ex- clusively a novelty in the way of a crop with a revolving spur rowel attached to rear of stag-horn handle, doing away with the neces- sity of wearing spur attached to boot, making it especially desirable for women riders.

It is quite inexpensive, and is made in both men's and women's sizes.

In the mounting of their whips, great care is taken by the Gorham Company to preserve the proper proportion of weight in the handle and not in any way to sacrifice the practicability of the article for service.

The sterling silver mountings range from those of very plain but substantial design adding but little to the cost, to those of very ornate design, some being set with precious or semi-precious stones.

For those desiring objects to be given as prizes for horsemanship, there will always be found a variety of articles suitable for events in the hunting field, amateur races, steeple chasing, polo, etc., and the competitions of cavalry

troops and riding and driving clubs,

which can be suitably en-

!< -. graved or etched. Umbrellas, Canes and Parasols

The fine silk used in the umbrellas and parasols sold by the Gorham Company is especially made for the purpose.

The frames are steel paragon, insuring dura- bility and lightness.

The sticks are partridge wood, with handles of carved ivory, mother of pearl, tortoise shell and various fancy natural woods mounted in silver.

In the production of the sterling silver mountings, the Gorham Company have used their unequaled resources in the making of an almost endless variety, from plain caps and bands which cost but a trifle more than inferior goods to charming examples of the art of the silversmith and chaser, some being set with semi- precious stones or embellished with gold and enamel.

They also have the handles of gun metal with bands of gold or silver.

Considering the high quality of both the umbrellas and the mountings, with the reputation

70 of the Gorham Company as a guarantee of their excellence, these goods will be found reasonable in price. ftp
