Era: 1890s - 1910s Size: Total length 16cm, width 9cm Materials: Brush (animal hair), Handle: Sterling Silver (925 silver) Maker: Gorham Hallmarks: Lion, Anchor, G, STERLING Weight: Total 70g An antique crumb brush purchased in the United States. This elegant piece was crafted in the early 20th century by Gorham, a leading American silver manufacturer founded in 1831. The handle is clearly hallmarked with the proud lion, anchor, and G, along with the "STERLING" stamp certifying its pure silver content, proving its prestigious lineage. The three-dimensional floral decoration, created by repoussé (embossing), is a work of art that transcends the realm of mere craft. The natural patina that has developed over many years has been preserved, and the dull luster unique to silver speaks eloquently of over 100 years of history. While there are signs of aging, such as blackening, minor dents, and surface scratches, typical of silver, there is no critical damage, and it is in good condition. The brush bristles have minimal shedding and are still in usable condition. Originally a tool for brushing crumbs from the table, its supple natural bristles and weighty handle also make it an excellent multi-purpose brush for dusting around a desk in a study. It's an item that transforms everyday actions, such as caring for a keyboard or stationery, into a luxurious experience.
