Book Description
"So thoroughly is the American ethos embodied in the works of American silversmiths that it has given to their product a typical identity and it never can be mistaken for that of any other country." — Charles Messer Stow in the Introduction. Forsaking the flourishes and ornamentation favored by their European contemporaries, early American gold- and silver smiths pioneered a new American aesthetic sensibility in creating for their well-heeled clients finely worked, luxurious metalware for the table, which was marked by a simplicity and forthrightness of design. These accomplished artisans have left us not only a stunning legacy of priceless silverware but also an opportunity to examine the culture, lifestyle, and values — in short, the developing ethos — of young America. For social and cultural historians as well as Americana buffs, the study of silversmithing in this book will provide a unique perspective on a spirited new nation. For serious connoisseurs of American gold and silver ware, silver dealer Stephen G. C. Ensko's American Silversmiths and Their Marks is a rich and definitive directory. Ensko has compiled an exhaustive list of over 3,000 gold- and silversmiths working between the years 1650 and 1850. Biographical details and location of their shops are given wherever possible. Maps of the great metropolitan centers of smithing (Boston, New York, and Philadelphia) with shop locations noted are appended. Over 200 of the finest examples of the work of early American artisans are displayed in sharp, clear black-and-white photographs. Items include tankards, cups, candlesticks, sugar boxes, inkstands, tea sets, porringers, plus a pitcher, sauce dish, teapot, and other works by famous New England patriot Paul Revere. The usefulness of this work is perhaps most apparent in the practical listing of identifying marks associated with gold- and silversmiths. With over 3,000 entries, this feature alone renders American Silversmiths and Their Marks indispensable to enthusiasts interested in tracking down and identifying antique pieces.

Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... The True Story of Paul Revere I --THE PATRIOTIC ENGRAVER AUL REVERE was born in Boston December 21, 1734, O. S. (January 1, 1735, N. S.). His father, for whom he was named, had come to this country from the isle of Guernsey to learn the goldsmith's trade, and in 1723, after a visit to his boyhood home, had returned to America, determined to settle here for life. Paul, Sr., was a Frenchman, and at birth was christened Apollos Rivoire. His father's name was Isaac, and his mother's, Serenne Lambert. Isaac's parents, Jean and Magdelaine Rivoire, were of that heroic Huguenot band who were forced to flee their native land after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV. in 1685. Simon, Isaac's eldest brother, emi 1735-1774 grated first to Holland and then to Guernsey, and it was to him that the lad Apollos was sent at the age of thirteen. A hundred years later the American grandson received this copy of a record made by the careful Isaac: "Apollos Rivoire our son was born the thirtieth of November, 1702, about ten o'clock at night, and was baptized at Riancaud, France. Apollos Rivoire my brother was his Godfather and Anne Maulmon, my sister-in-law, his Godmother. He set out for Guernsey the 21st of November, 1715." About the first thing young Apollos did after deciding to settle down in Boston permanently was to Anglicize his name, and, for reasons of euphony and convenience, he called himself henceforth Paul Revere. Six years after he had begun to fashion gold and silver plate and ornaments for the people of Boston he had amassed a sufficient competency to warrant him in marrying, and so, June 19, 1729, he took for his wife Deborah Hichborn, born in Boston January 29, 1704.1 Twelve children were born to this union, among them him who...
