Fontainebleau by Gorham

Another beautiful pattern designed by F. Antoine Heller and introduced by Gorham in 1882. Fontainebleau, has a motif design on the terminals of each piece. Each piece features people bringing different pieces to the banquet table. For example, if you look on the gravy ladle and the serving spoon, you will see a man bringing (what looks like) a tureen. On the ice cream fork and egg spoon, the man is bringing individual cups (or servings). Only Heller would put this thought and detail into a pattern.

Small Ice Cream Fork (5 3/8 inches)





Serving Tablespoon (8 1/4 inches)





Knife (8 3/8 inches)



Gravy Ladle (6 7/8 inches)
