Presenting a comparison of examples from New Orleans’s three intermingled silver traditions—French, American, and German—Crescent City Silver features 130 pieces, by 32 makers, from the holdings of The Historic New Orleans Collection, the Louisiana State University Museum of Art, and several private collections. Originally produced to accompany a 1980 exhibition of nineteenth-century New Orleans silver, Crescent City Silver remains a valuable resource for scholars, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
