Offered here is a set of six matching silver dessert forks. These four-tine forks measure approximately 6.75” long.
All handles are engraved with initials “WMB”. See items #1266-943 and #1266-944 for matching initials.
These are the “JOSEPHINE” pattern, designed by John Gorham in 1855, all with personalized engraving to handles, “WMB”, and each clearly marked “W.M. GALT & BRO.” This pattern features a foliate and scroll design on handle with a leaf cluster on underside of bowl at the stem.
M.W. Galt & Bro. is an American luxury jewelry and specialty goods retailer from Washington, DC. It is known for fine jewelry, sterling silver, watches, and high-end customizable personal accessories. Galt is one of the oldest jewelry companies in America, due to being one of the first officially established businesses in the nation's capital as of 1802. Founded by James Galt in Alexandria, the shop became famous in the 19th and 20th century by being a popular shopping destination for many prominent figures in American history. The company’s ledgers had a list of distinguished patrons including Presidents, First Ladies, diplomats, and renowned visitors from around the world. The imprint of Galt appears on a vast number of valuable items of great historical interest, many of which became museum relics such as Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. In 1825, James Galt decided to move his business to downtown Washington, DC, across the Potomac from Alexandria, with the new location situated on Pennsylvania Avenue.
All forks are in fine condition. From The William Turner collection. [jet][ph:L]
