South Carolina Silver
Varieties in Society 1750-1935
May 15 - January 31, 2011
A collection of silver used in South Carolina over two centuries can be seen at the South Carolina State Museum beginning May 15, in the elegant exhibit South Carolina Silver: Varieties in Society 1750-1935.
A wide variety of silver pieces from the Museum's collection will be on display, such as a silver service presented to John G. Richard when he left the governor’s office in 1931, an 18th–century breakfast setting, and a men’s silver set featuring humidors and tankards from the antebellum period. Museum guests also will see a section of unusual flatware – mustard spoons, a fish slice and a tomato lifter, a very popular item in the 1850s and ‘60s. English and French silver used in South Carolina also are included.
South Carolina Silver can be seen on the fourth floor through Januray 31, 2011.
