Sets of Silverware (Part 2)

Just as I stated in my earlier post on the prices of a set of sterling flatware, I am not qualified to appraise silver, these are just prices I came across at one time (and are just a snapshot - I am sure they vary day to day, vendor to vendor), but they give you some idea of the retail value of these sets.



La Scalla by Gorham  (1964) ($3,500) 64 pieces



Chantilly by Gorham (1895) ($3,600) 82 pieces



Acanthus by Georg Jenson (1917) ($8,900)
