Gorham B690 Sterling Silver String Holder
Genuine Gorham #B690 String Holder
The White House has used Gorham silver services during many administrations. Mary Todd Lincoln purchased an impressive tea and flatware service for use in the White House in 1859. The tea service was presented to the National Museum of American History in 1957. Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant asked Gorham to commemorate the country's one-hundredth anniversary with a spectacular Century Vase that contained over 2,000 ounces of sterling silver, and a grand “loving cup” composed of 70,000 dimes was designed for Admiral George Dewey in 1899. The largest single commission Gorham ever received was the famous Furber service. Ordered by Colonel Henry Jewett Furber, the president of Universal Life Insurance Company of New York, the opulent 740-piece service represents Victorian era dining at its most elaborate. The monumental silver and parcel-gilt “Neptune” for Furber as part of this service was displayed at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition in 1876. A large portion of the service now can be viewed at the Rhode Island School of Design[5] as part of its exhibit on American decorative arts. Q. What is the best way to take care of sterling silver pieces? A. Gorham Sterling Silver requires minimal care. Wash promptly after each use in hot sudsy water and rinse with hot water. Dry with soft towel and put away when cool. If you use an automatic dishwasher, remove your Sterling Silver after the wash cycle and dry it with a towel to avoid unsightly detergent spots. Check your dishwasher operating manual; if it has an anti-spotting injector, you can leave your Sterling Silver inside during the drying cycle. But avoid the prolonged soaking generally experienced with rinse and hold or equivalent cycles. |
