EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning "Pair of Salts" created in 1851/55 by the renowned American silverware company, Ball, Black & Co. The masterful craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in every aspect of these exquisite salt cellars. The salts were possibly designed by either Thomas or James Charters, with contributions from John Cann and David Dunn for Ball, Black & Company. This collaboration resulted in a truly remarkable piece of art that exemplifies the artistic prowess of 19th-century America. The photograph captures the rich color and intricate decoration of the salts, highlighting their significance as both functional tableware and decorative objects. Made from silver, they represent a time when fine dining was an art form unto itself. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of the Americas gallery, this pair of salts is an important part of America's cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to the skill and creativity that flourished during this period in our country's history. As we admire this image, we are transported back to a time when craftsmanship reigned supreme and everyday objects were transformed into works of art. The legacy left behind by Ball, Black & Co. , along with their collaborators Charters, Cann, and Dunn lives on through pieces like these - reminders that even utilitarian items can possess beauty beyond measure.
