Description: FREE SHIPPING or FREE LOCAL PICK UP VINTAGE Gorham Sterling Silver .925 "La Scala" Flatware Set Service for 12 (96 pcs) Serving Pieces (13) = Total of 109 Pieces Crafted from high-quality Sterling Silver and placed in TWO (2) solid wood cases with tarnish-proof lining, as seen on the oval gold-embossed stamp on the inside cover of the chests, this timeless classic is not only beautiful, but also durable, as you can see in the photos of this set from the late 1960s. DIMENSIONS & WEIGHTS Wooden chests are identical. Length: 14.5 inches / Width: 11.0 inches / Height 5.25 inches The completely filled cases weigh 10.2 lbs. + 13.5 lbs. = 23.7 lbs All the pieces in this set are the Original "La Scala" pattern by Gorham.All the pieces in the set are Sterling Silver (.925) with the knives and some of the serving pieces having stainless steel blades as well as Sterling Silver handles. Please check the photos and the spreadsheet that shows the list of the exact pieces you are bidding on, what they weigh on average per piece and as sets, what their lengths are, and what they look like. Weight of only full Sterling .925 Silver Pieces: Weight = 3126 grams = 110.3 oz. = 6.9 lbs. Weight of only those Sterling .925 Silver Pieces that have stainless steel parts (e.g., Knives) Weight = 2842 grams = 100.3 oz. = 6.3 lbs. Total Weight for All Silverware Pieces = 5968 grams = 210.5 oz. = 13.2 lbs. The set ALSO comes with 6 tarnish-proof cloth cases showing the Buffums' name (see photos) and two tarnish-proof wooden chests that show some wear and tear (see photos). Jabez Gorham was a renowned maker of silverware since 1831. The La Scala pattern was first issued by Gorham in 1964 using high quality .925 Sterling Silver, NOT coin silver with which his earlier flatware (pre-1868) was made. This Gorham Sterling Silver Flatware Set was originally purchased at Buffums' in Los Angeles, California by my mother in the late sixties. It was lovingly cared for by only one owner (again, my mother) who used it fewer than a handful of times before putting into my dowry. (Yes, she was totally into that old time tradition.) Although my "dowry days" have long passed, this timeless classic remains. This set includes 109 pieces and is designed to serve 12 people. It features an intricate floral and scroll design with scalloped tip created by Peter C. Gavette, which is sure to impress guests and elevate the evening's dining experience. Although it is crafted from high quality sterling silver, the knife blades, and some of the server parts, are stainless steel as expected. La Scala is a discontinued pattern that can only be purchased from others who have the La Scala pattern silverware or you can buy it piece-meal as replacement pieces. Getting JUST ONE 5-Piece La Scala place setting at the Silver Superstore costs $1319.95, based on a screenshot placed in the PHOTOS, which I took today (9/7/24). This amazing and beautiful set could be yours for at least $2,000 less than what it would cost you to put this full set together, including 2 tarnish-proof solid wood cases. Just buying a set of 12 place settings at the Silver Superstore would cost you $15,839.40, but you would not get any of the extras like a 12-piece set of butter knives, fish knives, and appetizer forks, not to mention any of the exquisite serving pieces, or the wooden chests. Overall, the pieces in this set are in great condition. However, a very few show a bit of tarnish and mild wear, and a some pieces have what look like hard water stains. The stains and tarnish could be buffed out or polished up to show their true luster. (See Photos) We are NOW offering FREE SHIPPING or FREE LOCAL PICKUP! GOOD LUCK!
