Gorham Sterling Teaset

 



This beautiful 19th century hand chased Gorham sterling teaset was fire-damaged. Every piece was fused soot and the ivory insulators were charred to a crisp. The pieces were first cleaned, then dents were removed. The set was repatinated and hand finished, giving it the soft finish which it had prior to the fire. I then carved pre-ban ivory insulators and installed them with new sterling retaining pins on the kettle, teapot, and coffeepot.
