The Discerning Eye of the Collector July 31, 2011

The Granger Collection of American and European silver has never been exhibited before and is not to be missed. Centuries of silver are brought together, featuring American silver from Paul Revere and silver once owned by the Kings of England. Georgian silversmiths, Hester Bateman, Paul Storr and Paul de Lamerie, are renowned for their work in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries for English nobility and royalty. A variety of forms will be on display from wine coolers and epergnes to gravy boats, plates and silverware. Included in the exhibition is King George III's silver service for sixty. This is a chance to see some of the finest silver ever made.
