"Gorham Grey" Finish
The original "Gorham Grey Finish" is still in use, so pieces from this collection have a satin finish, congruent with original Gorham designs. This is not a factory error. With use and repeated hand-polishing the finish will gradually become shinier. On request, prior to purchase, we can professionally buff the item to a shinier state – this will make the items appear visually closer to older sets but will also make the item Final Sale and have an extended lead time.
