Rare Antique Victorian / Edwardian (circa 1900) Gohram roast carving set (model H.145), with handles made of stag antler with lovely natural variations in texture and color, as pleasing to the eye as to the hand. The ferrules joining the antler to the blade/body as well as the terminals at the ends of the handles are done in a decorative ridged design in sterling silver. The blade of the carving knife, the sharpening rod and the tines/body of the fork are done in carbon steel, so these will darken with time and use and should be hand washed, never put in a dishwasher or left in standing water.

Hallmarked with the Gorham hallmarks circa 1900, H.145, sterling and Gorham M.F.G Co on the blade, the knife is 15" long. The sharpening rod is 13 1/2" long and the fork is 12 1/2" long.  In very good antique condition, with some minimal signs of wear consistent with age and normal use (some light wear and darkening to the blade [tip and edge - see -pictures] and some patina). The end cap on the fork is very slightly loose (a very small amount of give sideways, but the cap is completely secure). The antler handles are in great shape, with no splits or chips.
