Gorham “Gossamer” — 7-Piece Place Setting, Sterling Silver, 28 Pieces, Unused
Gossamer is Gorham’s quiet mid-century flex—slim handles, balanced in the hand, a mirror polish that lets crystal and china take the spotlight. This 7-piece place setting comes from a single estate purchase/gifting in 1966–67 and, per the family, was never used—kept in a lined silver drawer away from dishwashers and sunlight. Knives carry the expected sterling handles with modern blade inserts; the remaining pieces are sterling throughout. Set the table for today with a pattern that still feels modern.

Brand / Pattern Background

Gorham, founded in Providence, Rhode Island in 1831, helped define American sterling from the Victorian era through the twentieth century. By the 1960s the firm’s design language shifted toward clean profiles and restrained ornament, and Gossamer reads as distinctly mid-century: slim, tapering handles, comfortable balance, and a calm mirror finish. Sterling construction keeps weight satisfying in the hand, while modern inserts on the dinner knives deliver day-to-day practicality. Matching place settings that were bought together and drawer-kept—rather than assembled over years—are increasingly scarce. For a table that favors quiet luxury, one 7-piece Gossamer setting is a complete, elegant kit; a run of them makes the room feel finished.
