Cesta

Myer Myers American
1770–76
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 750
Esta excepcional cesta de mesa foi feita para o rico comerciante antilhano Samuel Cornell e sua esposa Susannah, residentes na cidade de Nova Iorque e New Bern, Carolina do Norte. Depois de ter sido nomeado para o Conselho Provincial da Carolina do Norte, Cornell encomendou vários objetos ao eminente ourives nova-iorquino Myer Myers. Como indicado por uma inscrição no fundo da cesta, Cornell a presenteou a sua filha Hannah, que havia se casado com Herman LeRoy em 19 de outubro de 1786. Com suas seções recortadas, bordas galonadas e asa com tela articulada, esta cesta é comparável às mais elegantes peças de prata londrinas.
