In his newest book, silver expert Richard Osterberg guides readers
on a colorful, yet practical tour of fine antique silver. The
book's first part deals with silver flatware made circa 1875-1885,
with a broad representation of patterns and forms. Next, a myriad
of serving pieces are displayed, with examples of each type and
function. In the third part, place settings are covered in many
different patterns, showing the wide variety of pieces that were
used, from the common knives, forks, and spoons to more obscure
forms like individual bird knives, bird forks, and cherry forks.
Finally, individual place settings are shown, together with silver,
china, linen, and crystal to suggest dining as a truly stimulating
visual expereince. Throughout the text value ranges are given,
making it easy to look up individual prices. Using this book can be
both inspirational and educational. It is both a must for
collectors wishing to identify pieces of old family silver and an
essential aid to the modern host or hostess.
