Cruet Stand 1765 - 1776

This silver cruet stand, crafted by Myer Myers between 1765 and 1776, showcases the refined tastes of 18th-century American silversmiths. The stand, with its intricate rococo ornamentation and delicate curves, reflects the influence of European design trends. It features four circular holders for small bottles or cruets, likely for holding vinegar, oil, or spices. The stand's elegant form and craftsmanship make it a prime example of colonial American silversmithing, currently on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
