If you’re looking for a great book on the history of Tiffany & Co. and other American silversmiths for your favorite antique silver collector this holiday season, I highly recommend the work of author Charles H. Carpenter Jr. One particular book, Tiffany Silver, sits in the library here at Nelson and Nelson Antiques and has been an invaluable resource. It’s a beautiful, thoroughly researched, and incredibly detailed history of America’s most renowned silver company that Carpenter co-wrote with his wife Mary Grace Carpenter.
