Cruet stand

Lewis and Smith American

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 724

Very few American-made cruet stands are known from the early nineteenth century. The firm of Harvey Lewis and Joseph Smith had a reputation for high-quality work; this example is distinguished by its restrained elegance and artful craftsmanship. The glass bottles are not original to the stand.
