For Sale:An Antique 5 pcs. Chafing Dish Set
Silverplate c. 1920 from the legendary Drake Hotel, Chicago!
Here’s a piece of history that saw use during The Drake’s glorious heyday! This five-piece chafing dish set is all original and matched! Featuring a deep-domed Gorham lid, footed base, and hotplate, an International Silver Co. platter, and the original burner holder, these pieces have retained their original patina from being retired, perhaps every scratch and spot of wear coming from another boisterous Flapper party or a dinner with the Chicago Outfit!
The lid, base, and hotplate are a matched set from Gorham. They are signed on the lid with the Gorham emblem, and on the lid and hotplate with a “Drake” stamp for the hotplate and “The Drake” for the lid. The platter is signed with the International Silver Co. logo and “The Drake Chicago.” The burner holder is unsigned. Based on the stamps, these pieces date to the 1920s or 30s.
CONDITION:
These pieces have earned a gorgeous patina! While these can be shined to their previous luster, I have decided to preserve the patina. The pieces are in very good physical condition; the Gorham dome top, footed bottom, and hotplate retain no major damage or repair, the burner holder has some oxidation in the interior, and the International Silver platter has some spotty oxidation and a very minor ding to the center of the plate. All these give the items a character, so I will leave it up to you if you wish to shine it.
Measurements (approximate):
Height: 10 in (25.5 cm) fully assembled
Max width: 9 in (23 cm)
Max length: 14.5 in (37 cm)
