Subject: Silversmith sought
I am the conservator for George Washington's Mount Vernon in Northern Virginia. We have an 18th century silver wine cooler that is missing its internal fittings (the two interior wine baskets). We would like to have replicas of these made so that the object can be interpreted to the public. Does anyone know of a reputable silversmith, preferably in the Washington D.C. metro area that can make replacement silver parts?
