Metals Study Room

Info

The Metals Study Room is organized to chronicle the development of metals, including silver, pewter, and gold, between the 1650s and the 1870s. The survey presents not only an evolution of design, but also testifies to changes in production technology, regional preferences, marketing, and social history over more than two centuries.
