The American Silver Museum focuses on sculptured details

The Gods of The American Silver Museum

    

God & Goddess motifs were commonly used in the embellishment of Victorian America. This motif can be found in Victorian American architecture, furnishings, home décor, and of course in silver and silver plated items.  Many of the sculptural details that we find in silver, we find in homes and buildings from the same era. 


On this page, we’ll feature the actual catalogue (circa 1870) from Meriden Britannia. It is interesting to see how accurate the artist’s representation is to the actual item (featured in the photo gallery).


At the bottom of the page, we’ll take a look at a handsome sculptured spout adorning a Victorian era ice pitcher. The visage is not of a god, but of a conquistador!


    

Be sure to visit THE MEN OF THE AMERICAN SILVER MUSEUM – a special gallery that gathers all the gentlemen we’ve met so far on our photo safari!

Illustrations from the original 1873 Meriden Britannia catalogue…

  

Featured in the 1873 Meriden Britannia catalogue (p 7), this silver plated tea set came in the rectangular version (seen here) or in a round version (coming soon). Boasting images of the North Wind and the Goddess Minerva the 1869 price for this set (as shown) would have been $63. $63 is equivalent to $1090.12 in 2019
