Tiffany Silver at The MET with PRICE VALUES Collecting Inspiration Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany Rare Silver Exhibition at The MET including our price value estimates - Collecting Inspiration Edward C. Moore at Tiffany & Co. - You will find some really extraordinary pieces found no where else on the planet here. There is a vast display of unique and unusual metal working techniques exhibited in the pieces on display including enameling, intricate chasing, Mokume Gane, acid etching, battery inlay, repousse hand work, and damascening. You will also see many Tiffany Silver items richly decorated with a blend of mixed metals of silver, copper, gold, Shakudo, sterling, brass, bronze and platinum. Some of the items are worth in excess of $10,000,000 each or more.
This is perhaps one of the most extensive and informative exhibits ever displayed about Tiffany and their lead late nineteenth century designer Edward C. Moore who had collected over 2,000 art and antique objects with the specific purpose of taking inspiration from those pieces of other cultures to inject these themes into his masterful silver items that he produced for Tiffany & CO. As a result of his experimentation and marrying of techniques, some of his designs are the most iconic and beautiful pieces ever produced in silver in all history.
Don't miss this exhibition which is at The Met in New York City until October 20th, 2024. Be sure to also watch the Met's virtual display on UA-cam before you attend so that you have a better grasp of what you are seeing.

Splendid stuff! I wish they would add some Gorham in though. 👿

Definitely a few pieces of Gorham would have been nice, in particular a couple pieces of Martele. I also thought a few pieces of Charles Grosjean would have been great as well, as Edward C. Moore and him frequently collaborated on designs at Tiffany.
