Joining Gorham in 1881 after a brief \u003cbr\u003estint at Tiffany Co., Heller served as the company’s chief \u003cbr\u003edesigner until his death in 1904, and led the company in adopting the \u003cbr\u003eacademic style that harkened back to ancient Greek and Roman traditions.\u003cbr\u003e He was especially known for the precision with which he executed the \u003cbr\u003esteel dies that would be used for the drop presses. This talent was \u003cbr\u003eremarked upon with envy by several French critics and journals including\u003cbr\u003e La France, who lauded, “M. Heller is at once an inspired artist, having\u003cbr\u003e the gift of style, of grace and of elegance; and a workman possessing a\u003cbr\u003e skill without a rival—a hand for which no obstacle exists. Notice how \u003cbr\u003eare modeled, posed, and—if I dare so to speak—harmonized … the \u003cbr\u003emythological personages of these spoons, engraved in relief upon squares\u003cbr\u003e of steel. It is perfection.” \u003cbr\u003eEach example of Mythologique flatware was decorated with one of 24 \u003cbr\u003eintricately wrought mythological figures and scenes, surrounded by \u003cbr\u003eclassical ornamentation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSATISFACTION GUARANTEED!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cbr\u003eListed with ExportYourStore.com\u003c\/li\u003e","brand":"Gorham","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31666059345982,"sku":"153884673547_X8XWX6YOXOGDA","price":705.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0110\/3311\/6730\/files\/57_f1eac7fc-ce08-41be-bdad-504346d801c4.jpg?v=1776213555","url":"https:\/\/antiquecupboard.net\/products\/mythologique-by-gorham-sterling-silver-ice-cream-slice-old-hhas-gold-washed","provider":"Antique Cupboard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
