The exhibition, organized by location, includes not only silver produced in major urban centers, such as Alexandria, Norfolk, and Richmond, but also works crafted in small towns like Dumfries, Fincastle, and Waynesboro. Also included are images of Virginia silversmiths themselves and place settings using silver, ceramics, and linens from our collections.
Many of the items on display in this gallery were part of a gift from James H. Willcox, Jr.
