Description from the seller

Exceptional Sterling Gorham Sterling Silver Cup
Unique piece, Provenance from a private collector, American piece of design
Extremely RARE, period 1880-1890
Plymouth– USA

This remarkable, solid silver Trophy cup is far more than a table setting — it is a true heritage piece, combining American silversmithing excellence, Auction house provenance, and enduring patrimonial value.

Massive weight 1.8 kg - Intrinsic Value 4000 euros

Crafted by the renowned Gorham silversmith, one of the most important American silver manufacturers of the 19th century, this imposing and massive masterpiece was originally offered as a prestigious wedding. Provenance from an auction house, carefully preserved within the family for decades, it has been handed down through generations and remains in exceptional condition today.

An Impressive and Heavy Service
This is a substantial, weighty, and highly impressive ensemble, conceived for grand dining and formal entertaining. The pieces are made of solid 925 silver and feel notably heavy and luxurious in hand, reflecting the quality and craftsmanship of the period. Floréal decorations on the base, acanthus leaves, an incredible research on the details.

Weights
• Approx. 1.8 kg of solid 925 silver
• Estimated weight with delivery box: over 5 kg

This makes it not only a refined collectable but also a significant tangible silver asset.

Valuation
The service has been appraised at €15,000, reflecting both its intrinsic silver value and its historical and collectible significance.

An American museum-quality masterpiece.
