King Edward by Gorham

J. Russell Price designed King Edward for Gorham in 1936, the year of King Edward VIII's abdication of the throne for his divorced lover, Wallace Simpson. Whether or not the name of the pattern, the name of the King, and that notable year in the history of the British Realm have anything in common, I leave up to you.


Whatever the case, the King Edward pattern by Gorham is a lovely, fairly elaborate pattern. Price went on to design Chapel Bells for Alvin in 1939.
