Gorham Sterling Silver: An Unrivaled Triumph of Art and Craft

Founded in 1831 by Jabez Gorham, Gorham Silversmiths became a symbol of exquisite craftsmanship and innovation. Under John Gorham’s leadership, the company expanded into a global powerhouse, producing sterling silver masterpieces for presidents, aristocrats, and collectors. From the Martelé line to the legendary Magnolia Vase, Gorham pushed the boundaries of artistry, blending European refinement with American ingenuity.

At Sister Dandy, we honor this craftsmanship by transforming antique Gorham sterling silver spoons into wearable art, allowing their brilliance to live on in a new form.
