Seller's Description:
Used-Like New. A generously illustrated examination of the precious metals trades and usage of precious metal artifacts in New York City. Although precious metals have been part of the lives of New Yorkers since the city's founding, until now comparatively little information about them has been available. Consisting of objects made, sold, or owned in New York, the excellent collection at the Museum of the City of New York includes more than 1400 objects of silver and other precious metals, including hollowware, flatware, and jewelry, from the 17th century to the present. Through essays; biographies of craftsmen, designers, and retail firms; and catalog entries, this generously illustrated two-volume set examines the precious metals trades and usage of precious metals artifacts since the third quarter of the 17th century. Entries include photographs of the objects and their marks, with measurements, description, references, accession information, and history. Biographies of craftsmen and firms update and in some cases, correct, existing information. Two volumes, slipcased, no dust jackets, as issued.

Vol. 2: pp. 244-619, some color and profuse bw plates; set weighs 8.25 lbs. Profusely illustrated with detailed, scholarly analysis, this selective catalog of the 1400 object collection will bring this outstanding collection to prominence. Not limited to some of the earliest items made on this continent or 19th century Tiffany masterpieces, the collection includes pieces with documented New York histories--from 17th century Dutch silver to outstanding examples by Gorham and other makers. This exciting new reference includes photographs of all unusual marks-the first time early New York marks have been studied and reproduced in over 35 years. Many new, unpublished and and previously misattributed marks are included. Also there is significant new information about makers and retailers in New York City from the early to mid 19th century. From the Publisher: Although precious metals have been part of the lives of New Yorkers since the city"s founding, until now comparatively little has been written about them.
