### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Outstanding book on American silver, a must for your library
  

*by N***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2017*

Fascinating history of the United States spills out of this book. I am a small silver collector and was astounded as to the developments throughout this hundred year period that effected the production and influence of silver. The expansion and contraction of economic markets influenced design, production and sales in a way that silver manufacturers had to really innovate to survive. Styles were influenced by other countries,  the discovery of different tombs resulted in Egyptian revival, the aesthetic of the Japanese caused our own Japanese styles in the US. The hallmark system in Europe kept European silversmiths in lockstep with tradition while the absence of a hallmarking system led to mixed metals here, and we innovated. Interesting vignettes of how American firms acquired foreign designers and how they would go from one firm to another. The tarrif act of 1842 was a watershed for silver production in this country. If you like history, this book is a meal. If you love silver, this book is a banquet.
