Gorham "Medallion' Pattern Coin Silver Coffee/ Tea Set, c. 1865

Gorham “Medallion’ Pattern Coin Silver Coffee/ Tea Set, c. 1865

This 3-piece set consists of a coffee or tea pot, creamer and covered sugar.  Numerous details and various techniques attest to the quality of the service.  A total of seven portrait medallions are applied around the boldly designed rims bordered with an applied die-rolled, Greek-key border. The areas underneath the borders depict finely chased ivy against shimmering, matte backgrounds.  Additional leaf-motif chasing decorate the pedestal bases.

Wonderful female masks are applied on the handles and the pouring spout has a stunning depiction of a man with cattail headdress (these could possibly symbolize gods and goddesses  of agriculture).  Sitting atop the coffee pot and sugar lid are fully cast winged cherubs.
