Lot Essay

According to Gorham scholar Sam Hough, the Gorham code of a letter over two others indicates a prototype for the company's use. These candelabra were one of a number of oversized pieces produced by Gorham for showroom and marketing purposes. As they were not intended for sale, no costing records exist.
