| Spectacular centerpieces, tea services, and candelabras are among the gorgeous silver pieces shown in this new, beautifully illustrated book. These wares were made of coin and sterling silver and range from compotes, pitchers, and serving trays to gravy boats and butter dishes. All of the top manufacturers of the 19th and 20th Centuries are well-represented, with photographs and discussions of the pieces by Gorham, Kirk, Stieff, and Shreve, among others.
With over 300 detailed photographs detailing some of the finest silver hollowware ever produced, this book will be valuable for collectors who love to dine in formal style. Each piece is described in detail, and a current value guide is provided.
The author recently published "Sterling Silver Flatware for Dining Elegance," with Schiffer Publishing. A resident of California, he appraises private silver collections and provides current values for insurance companies.
