Gallery Label:
Silver toys-accurate reproductions in miniature of full-size wares-were sold as charming novelties for adults and as instructive playthings for children of wealth. This particular tea set is of dollhouse proportions rather than child-sized and thus was probably enjoyed as a novelty. The venerable London jewelry firm of Saunders & Shepherd, well known for their silver miniatures, produced large numbers of silver toys during the Edwardian era, when the collecting of genuine eighteenth-century miniatures was fashionable. This set was purchased during the 1920s by the folk art collectors Elie Nadelman (1882-1946) and his wife, Viola Flannery (1878-1962), and was probably displayed in their Museum of Folk and Peasant Arts, opened in 1926 on the grounds of the couple's estate in Riverdale, New York. Well known as an avant-garde sculptor, the Polish-born Nadelman was a pioneering connoisseur of American and European folk art. His vast collection, assembled with his wife in just one decade, was purchased by the New-York Historical Society in 1937.
Provenance:
Collected by Elie (1882-1946) and Viola Flannery Nadelman (1878-1962), probably during 1920s, for their Museum of Folk and Peasant Arts, Riverdale, N.Y.; purchased along with the bulk of the Nadelman Folk Art Collection, 1937.
