Exhibition of Early American Silver.

A LOAN collection of American silver objects, including both domestic and religious utensils,

chiefly of the eighteenth century, has been arranged for the summer months in the Textile Gallery. The Museum is beholden to Mr. Francis H. Bigelow, who has generously placed his knowledge and time at its disposal in gathering and arranging the ma- terial. Mr. John H. Buck, author of the standard work on silver in America and Curator of Metal Work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, has been able, thanks to the courtesy of that institution, to assist with his learning and taste in the installation of the pieces.

It is believed that this is the earliest endeavor to bring together a series of this sort. Besides its attractiveness to lovers of beautiful things, it is an impresssive tribute to the high regard for serious craftsmanship which animated America in colonial days.

In addition to the Museum's possessions (includ- ing the silver of the West Church), selections have been made from the collections of many private owners and from the plate of the following founda- tions : King's Chapel, the First Church, the Second Church, Brattle Street Church, New South Church Society, Trinity Church, the Public Library (the "

Webster Vase," presented to Daniel Webster by Bostonians in 1 835 as

" Defender of the Con-

stitution "), Harvard University, and the First Parish, Cambridge. Examples are included of the work of John Hull and Robert Sanderson, our earliest silversmiths ; the following craftsmen are also represented : Bridge, Brigden, the Burts, Cobb, Coburn, Cowell, Dixwell, Dummer, Hurd, Minot, and Revere, to mention some leading names.

Tea Set made by Paul Revere. 1799
