Forks, Gorham Invitation Silverplate Dinner Forks Set of 2, USA, Vintage 1940

Gorham issued the Invitation pattern in 1940 — tiny leaves and berries climbing the length of each handle, the kind of quiet botanical detail that rewards a second look.

Two matching dinner forks in a pattern this old and this lovely are the kind of thing a collector notices immediately. Use them to complete a place setting, mix them intentionally with other vintage pieces, or keep them as a pair for intimate dinners where the table deserves a little care. We also carry Invitation teaspoons and a nine-piece place setting in this pattern.

A quiet but considered gift for a flatware enthusiast or anyone building a vintage table.
