{1899 Roses & Cupid - A Dream in Silver}

Have you ever visited Replacements Ltd., in Greensboro, North Carolina? That is a heaven for China, Chrystal and Silver. Both of us went there several times and three years ago, Pieter and I did also visit their beautiful display in the store. More like a museum. We came across this antique dresser set from 1899: Roses & Cupid - A Dream in Silver... Have a look below.
From the Hearts & Flowers Sterling, by Mauser 1899
Look at those roses with cupid...
Not easy to photograph through the glass...
Have you ever been there? 
It is an incredible, huge 500,000 square foot facility for their 13,000,000 pieces.

    Hello Mariette, Wow, they must have to have tremendous security for all that silver. Almost like a silver Fort Knox.

    Lieve Mariette,

    Voor de echte liefhebbers zal er meer dan genoeg te zien én te koop zijn op al die vierkanten meters. Denk dat velen ogen tekort komen én geld te weinig hebben, zeker in deze tijd.

    Fijne weekeind en lieve groeten!!
    Ger

    Such craftsmanship! My grandmother had a similar set, and I remember her stroking her hair advising 100 strokes per night. <3
