The silver collection of Margo Grant Walsh
Architect Margo Grant Walsh’s silver collection has been called “remarkable” and “one of the most important collections, anywhere, of silver and metalwork from the late 19th century to the present.” If you are new to collecting silver or are not aware of Walsh, it’s worth some time to learn about her collection and her approach.
The exhibit Designed by Architects: Metalwork from the Margo Grant Walsh Collection at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts took place in 2008, but sixteen images from the exhibit, along with background information, are available for online viewing. The images include works by William Spratling: a sterling silver and rosewood coffeepot, a sterling silver and azure-malachite bracelet, and rosewood and silver salad servers.
