This wonderful and rare sterling and agate dish was designed by Erik Magnussen, working at Gorham. A great example of Art Deco silver, it has stunning lines and shapes incorporating deer atop sterling balls and agate discs resting on a circular ring.
Magnussen was Gorham’s great Art Deco director of design. Gorham hired the illustrious designer while he was working in Denmark and brought him here in the late 1920’s to lead Gorham into the modern era. With the advent of the depression, very little of Magnussen’s work was sold and his stylish pieces are quite rare today.
