GORHAM CORPORATION
The origins of Gorham are in 1831 when the firm of Jabez Gorham was joined by Henry L. Webster
in the Gorham & Webster.
In its history the firm assumed these names: Gorham & Webster (1831-1837), Gorham Webster &
Price (1837.1841), J. Gorham & Son (1841-1850), Gorham & Thurber (1850-1852), Gorham &
Company (1852-1865), Gorham Mfg. Company (1865-1961), Gorham Corp. (from 1961).
The company moved into a new headquarters in Providence, RI in 1890 as employment surpassed 500, and in
1905 they opened a retail outlet on Fifth Avenue in New York City. Throughout the latter half of the 19th
century and into the 20th, Gorham attracted some of the best designers and silver artisans in the world.
Their rapidly expanding business of doing one-of-a-kind pieces on commission for major world
figures and events expanded their profile and introduced Gorham to an international clientele.
Gorham continues to operate today reflecting the principles of its founders, and it signifies the best in
American silverwork comparable to the best of Europe and the far east. Today, Gorham silver is perhaps best known
for its silverware which it produces in hundreds of well known pattens including Chantilly (the best selling
flatware pattern in the world), Strasbourg, Melrose, Fairfax, and Buttercup.
