The Gorham Knickerbocker Etched Sterling Silver Flatware pattern is a very fancy multi-motif pattern modeled after the Japanese Aesthetic Movement mainly focusing on intricately detailed flowers. The pattern was created by a technique called acid etching where each piece had wax applied, then the item is hand etched. The acid reduces down the silver to form a design pattern. The pieces were all individually made by hand.
The pattern was first made in the year 1870 and was likely not one made for too very long and in today's era, there is not much of it in existance. The values vary greatly depending on the piece type and the condition. The pattern was never very popular and didn't become a best seller like its Tiffany counterpart Lap Over Edge. In today's market, you can acquire pieces for between $75 to $200 per troy ounce.
