Kudos To Charles H. Carpenter Jr.

If you enjoyed the previous article and you’d like to learn more about the history of Tiffany & Co. and other American silver manufacturers we highly recommend the work of author Charles H. Carpenter Jr. One particular book, Tiffany Silver, sits in our own library and has been an invaluable resource for us here at Nelson & Nelson Antiques. It’s a thoroughly researched and incredibly detailed history of America’s most renowned silver company that he co-wrote with his wife Mary Grace Carpenter.

To learn more about his life, his work, and his own collection of fine art, check out this sample from Charles H. Carpenter Jr.: The Odyssey of a Collector, an autobiography published by the Carnegie Museum of Art.
