Edward C. Moore (1827–1891) was a remarkable silversmith, designer, and collector who played a pivotal role in propelling Tiffany & Co. to unparalleled creative and commercial success during the late 19th century. This comprehensive and visually stunning volume, the first comprehensive study of Moore's life and influence, presents over 175 exceptional examples from his vast collection, spanning from ancient Greek and Roman glass to Spanish vases, Islamic metalwork, and Japanese textiles. These remarkable objects are juxtaposed with sixty-nine magnificent silver creations crafted by the talented designers and artisans at Tiffany, who were inspired by Moore's acquisitions. The insightful texts have been enriched through groundbreaking research into newspapers, periodicals, the Tiffany & Co.
