Presented is a fabulous Gorham sterling silver coffee pot. This piece is made in the desirable Chantilly pattern, featuring beautifully hand chased scroll, floral and foliate designs. Both sides of the body feature hand chased bellflower swags and  a border around the belly of heavy scrolls, very bold and distinctive.
