Silver Curios in the Home

Beschreibung

Small silver items made over the last 150 years for many practical uses often are saved in curio cabinets for their beauty, but are little understood today. Leading silver experts explain their uses and show hundreds of various silver curios. Here are silver sewing devices, tableware, dresser and desk sets, cigar cutters, etc. Easily found in antiques shops, these curios reflect a more ornate culture.
