agleopar Posts: 850 Registered: Jun 2004	posted 01-15-2010 10:54 AM This sounds (looks) like a really good survey of 100 years of American silversmithing with all the high points represented. I'm not sure you have, or want to include Shiebler or Shreve; they have a look that might broaden the whole? IP: Logged

Ulysses Dietz Moderator Posts: 1265 Registered: May 99	posted 01-28-2010 02:27 PM Of course, I didn't remind everyone that there is silver already included in other decorative arts galleries in the Newark Museum, as well as in the period rooms of the Ballantine House, and in the American art galleries.
