Introduction
The Loan Exhibition of Colonial Silver which opened at the Museum
on the tenth of May is in a large measure unique, having been collected
and arranged to illustrate certain aspects of early American silver-smithing
which hitherto have been only touched upon by students and collectors.
In the first place, the more familiar Colonial silver of New England and New
York has been to a great extent excluded; recent exhibitions in Boston and
New York have demonstrated adequately the pre-eminence of these
craftsmen and the care with which this particular branch of Colonial silver
has been collected, listed, and studied. The present Exhibit, on the other
hand, aims to lay special stress upon the work of the early smiths from the
more southern provinces, of which Philadelphia was the metropolis, not only
to exemplify fully the styles typical of this locality, but also to illustrate
the gradual development of these styles. The collection is further limited to
examples of silver made during the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries;
though a line of demarcation of this sort cannot be strictly adhered to, yet
the styles which typify the Nineteenth Century have been kept out of sight. ¦
When these limitations are considered it is remarkable that such a large
and complete, and yet withal concise, exhibition as the present should have
been brought together. Finally, as a background to the Colonial silver, a
portrait gallery as it were of the forbears of the American styles, a carefully
selected collection of English and European silver is included, that the casual
observer as well as the student may see side by side the European prototype
and its Colonial expression.
The development of silver-smithing in Philadelphia is one of the minor
chords of civic history, and should prove of interest as such, quite apart from
its artistic aspects. The craft is essentially the outcome of civilization, the
accompaniment of a settled people. The early Quaker settlers in Pennsyl
vania had neither the time nor the inclination to concern themselves about
silverware; their days were occupied fully with husbandry and commerce;
their religious tenets made them look with disfavor on all things that might
be considered pretentious. Thus it was that of the earliest emigrants from
England only a few of the more prosperous brought with them their choicest
or most useful pieces of silver. As soon, however, as existence in the Colony
became less arduous, the need of a few of the refinements of life and the
desire for harmless luxuries were felt, and the more settled hfe in the growing
cities created a demand for silver. The cost of importing, with its attendant
trouble, time, and risk, fostered the early Colonial craftsmen, albeit their
work was crude — serviceable and adequate, rather than unblemished and
artistic. The American craftsmen for the most part chose as models the
European styles prevalent at the time they worked, yet in Philadelphia the
Quaker influence tended to prodTjce^n-^gxtreme simplicity of form and

workmanship, the direct reflection of the homely Quaker mode of life. In the
transition, however, from the original to the Colonial style the forms of
silverware — and this apphes particularly to the tankards and cans — they
lost a certain degree of grace, became squatty and sunken at the base, so
much so that this almost indefinable corruption of the English style, when
combined with the Quaker simplicity, is characteristic of work from this
locality. Two series of outline drawings are appended to emphasize this

point more completely. In Pennsylvania and the South the influence of the
Dutch style was neither so strong nor so persistent as in New York; yet it
was not lacking. In the present Exhibition there are two beakers which illus
trate the effect of the Dutch; one, made in America in the early Seventeenth
Century; the other, almost the exact prototype of the first, made in Cologne
in the Dutch style about 1610, and lent by Christ Church. The similarity
of the two is striking.

TYPES OF PHILADELPHIA CANS

The first name on the long Ust of distinguished and successful Phila
delphia silver-smiths is that of Caesar Ghiselin, a Huguenot refugee who
came from England only a few years after WilHam Penn. His work when
measured by later standards is inclined to appear crude, almost unfinished,
and yet there is in its graceful simplicity a charm peculiarly distinctive.
Ghiselin died in Philadelphia in 1733, but even before his death a new genera
tion of smiths was rising to succeed him. Francis Richardson, who, according
to an advertisement in the Pennsylvania Gazette for September, 1736, lived
4

'at the corner of Letitia Court in Market-Street' and 'made, sold, clean'd
and mended reasonably very neat Clocks and Jacks' is the first of a
name which stands so high in the annals of Philadelphia silver-smithing.
For a full century Francis Richardson, his son Joseph, and his grandsons
Joseph and Nathaniel stamped their name upon silverware that is as fine
as any produced in Colonial America. Another name which ranks with
that of Richardson in the story of the craft in Philadelphia is that of Syng.
John Syng came to Philadelphia from England in 1714, worked at silver-
smithing for twenty years and died in 1739, leaving his son Philip to succeed
him in the trade. Philip was the most distinguished member of the family, a
close friend of Franklin, first Master of the Mint, first Treasurer of the
Philosophical Society, and interested in all movements which furthered the
welfare of his city. He also had a son, Philip, who plied the trade of silver
smith but died some years before his father. In this Exhibition there are
a number of pieces of silver which are the work of this family, and the high
standard of excellence they maintained through three generations is sur
prising. Up to the beginning of the Revolution the Syngs and the
Richardsons were the outstanding silver craftsmen in Philadelphia, but
with the growth of the city and the national importance which it attained,
a score of new smiths came, bringing with them new styles and graceful
variations of the old. At the same time the Classical Revival of Wedgwood
and Flaxman in England was reflected in the Colonial silver. The urn
shape was quickly adopted in Philadelphia and from the large number of
pieces in this form which are today extant we may judge of its wide popularity.
The Philadelphians added to the original form, however, the delicately
pierced gallery, a peculiarity, as far as it is known, which typifies the work
from this locality of the final quarter of the Eighteenth Century. This period
and the early years of the next century marked the heydey of the craft in Phila
delphia; not only were there more silver-smiths working at that time in this
city than in any other in the country, but also they were turning out the best
American work. Richard Humphreys with his excellently proportioned
and thoroughly satisfying tankards and cans; Christian Wiltberger, John
McMullin, and Joseph Lownes with their artistic tea and coffee services, John
LeTelier and Abraham DuBois with their graceful and refined sugar bowls and
cream pitchers, these were the Philadelphia craftsmen whose work was of the
highest order, and who are today recognized as the leaders of their time.
And throughout all their work there is a lack of sophistry and of flamboyance
which is particularly pleasing, an inherent expression of the ever-constant
Quaker desire for simplicity which has been reflected to a certain degree in
all the silver produced in Philadelphia since the earliest days of the craft.
The beginning of the Nineteenth Century saw a sudden decline in the
art of silver-smithing in Philadelphia. Two causes militated to reduce the
city's pre-eminence. In the first place the epidemics of yellow fever, the
most severe in 1793 and 1798, proved especially disastrous to all craftsmen;
many silver-smiths died of the fever, many through fear left to establish
themselves iu other cities. In the second place, with the removal of the
Capital to Washington at the beginning of the new century and the consequent
5

/
decline of Philadelphia's national importance, there was less encouragement
to the silver-smiths to ply their trade here. The factors which might have
attracted new smiths were gone, and the survivors of the epidemics soon died
out, and so, from this time forward the annals of Philadelphia silver-smithing
became dull. When, therefore, the scope of this Exhibition was limited
chiefly to the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries it was not without
reason. The above is a thumbnail sketch of the history of the craft in Phila
delphia. One point alone remains to be considered, and that is why in
Pennsylvania and the Southern Provinces less silver was made; why less was
in everyday household use than in New England. The comparative stability
of the currency in these two regions accounts for this fact. In New
England, the unstable paper money which was being issued continually,
and which was received at varying discounts in different localities, made
silver the only constant, and hence most desirable, form of money. Yet
the householder preferred to change his silver hoardings into some form which
might be safe and at the same time useful. No better way was afforded
than having his coin melted and recast in articles for his table, which he
could use every day and, if the need arose, convert into ready money with
the assurance of incurring httle or no loss. Consequently, a large amount
of the silver made in Colonial New England represented the family fortune,
rather than a special and local taste for silverware. ' In Pennsylvania, on
the contrary, where commerce and trade were on a sound footing and where
but little paper currency was in circulation, the householder found no need
to take such steps; his silver coin if deposited in a bank brought him a
satisfactory rate of interest, and could at any time be withdrawn for use. So
the Pennsylvaniaih did not visit his silver-smith with his savings for recasting,
and for this reason there was less silver in household use in the Southern
provinces than in New England. It is an interesting point inasmuch as it
demonstrates how closely interwoven were various threads of Colonial life.
Many of the pieces in this Loan Collection are of historical interest;
chief among these are the Markoe and the Powel standard-tops, lent by the
First City Troop. The former was on the standard carried in the battle of
Princeton and is the work of an unidentified maker with the initials "D. S.";
the latter was the work of John Myers of Philadelphia. The baptismal bowl,
the flagon and the beaker which PhiKp Syng made for Christ Church are also
included in the Exhibit, as well as a tankard which belonged to Benjamin
Franklin, made by Elias Boudinot, now the property of the Rivinus family.
Another tankard is individually interesting since tradition says that during
the Revolution it was filled with gold pieces and buried in the garden to hide
it and its contents from the predatory fingers of the Hessian soldiery. There
is in the collection also the small silver bowl, made by Philip Syng for
Franklin's sister, and inscribed "D. Evans to S. Franklin." The Historical
Society has lent two quaint and unusual pieces: A silver gorget and the
Indian Peace Medal of 1793, both made by Joseph Richardson, and used by
the Quakers and by Congress for presentation to friendly Indian chiefs.

Another unique piece on exhibition is the large standing salt-cellar made
by John Edwards and John Allen of Boston.
Among the European silver in the Exhibition the outstanding pieces
are a caudle cup supposed to be the finest example of this sort in America,
a representative group of pieces by Paul Lamerie of London, and a rare
Irish Potato-ring. The Bruton Parish Silver is exceedingly beautiful and of
rare pedigree, having been longer in the possession of the Parish to which it
was given originally than any other Church Silver in America.
In conclusion it may be said that the catalogue which follows aims to give,
as well as a concise description of each piece on exhibition, some information
about each American maker. For this purpose the early Directories have been
searched for information, and extracts from the Journals of the day have
been included; for it is interesting to know that the silver-smith whose work
we admire was considered by his contemporaries "a gentleman whose private
virtues, and public spirit, justly claimed the friendship, esteem and con
fidence of his fellow-citizens."

I am greatly indebted and take this occasion to thank Mr. Hollis French
for the Ust prepared by the Walpole Society, Mr. Maurice Brix for the Ust of
Philadelphia silversmiths, Sir Charles Jackson for the marks of Enghsh gold
smiths, and Mr. Alfred C. Prime for his untiring work for the research com
mittee of the Museum, upon whom I have drawn for much of the information
in this catalogue.

The SYNG FAMILY
Philip Syng, the Elder, born in Ireland in 1676. Came to America 1714. His residence
in Philadelphia was only temporary, near the Market Place. He subsequently moved
to Annapolis where he died 1739, aged sixty-three.
His son, Philip Syng, Jr., also a silversmith, was born in Ireland in 1703. He came to
America with his father and made a permanent residence in Philadelphia. He was
a member of Benjamin Frariklin's Junto, and when Franklin founded the Library
Company of Philadelphia, Philip Syng was made a director. He was appointed Junior
Grand Warden of the Masonjc Lodge by Franklin in 1749. Mr. Syng was one of original
trustees of Public Academy in Philadelphia which afterwards grew into the University
of Pennsylvania. The electrical contrivance with which Franklin made his experiments
was made by this Syng. He was one of the founders of the American Philosophical
Society and was elected its first Treasurer in 1768. When the Colony in Schuylkill was
35

founded, Philip Syng, Jr.'s name was eleventh on the roll of the original members. He
made the silver inkstand in 1753 which the Provincial Assembly of Pennsylvania
purchased, and from which the Declaration of Independence was signed and the Con
stitution of the United States. He died in 1789, at the age of eighty-five.
Philip Syng, 3d, silversmith, was born in 1733. He was unmarried and died in 1760,
thirty years before his father's death.
