About the Item

Evidence and the intricacy of this pattern suggests that famous Antoine Heller designed St. Cloud (some say it was designed by Walter Wilkinson, but we believe Heller designed this extraordinary pattern). Heller worked as a die chaser - he hand finished the molds used in die stamping silver. Due to the technical difficulty and great detail of the work - and the great expense of making dies for stamping - this was traditionally the highest paying craft position in a silver (or metal) shop. Heller went on to design silver at Gorham and left to work for Tiffany, creating the Olympian pattern. After that he studied at L'Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris, where Gorham lured him back to work in Providence, where he created some of the most exquisitely die stamped patterns ever made including: Old Masters, Versailles, Cluny, St. Cloud and Mythologique. (See Gorham Silver by Charles Carpenter and the Gorham Flatware 1888 Catalog Reprint.) Heller served as the Gorham company’s chief designer until his death in 1904 and led the company in adopting the academic style that harkened back to ancient Greek and Roman traditions. He was especially known for the precision with which he executed the steel dies that would be used for the drop presses. This talent was remarked upon with envy by several French critics and journals including La France, who lauded, “M. Heller is at once an inspired artist, having the gift of style, of grace and of elegance; and a workman possessing a skill without a rival—a hand for which no obstacle exists…” St. Cloud was named for the Chateau de Saint-Cloud in France. It was purchased by King Louis XVI for Marie-Louise in 1785 and was residence of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1804. The St. Cloud pattern was patented in the late 1880's and features an elaborate design with foliate motifs. St. Cloud by Gorham sterling silver Fish Service Set, 26 pieces.
