Over the years, the company made bathroom-related items, clocks, tableware and flatware, tea sets, candlesticks, fruit baskets, dishes, and more object types made of silver and silver plate.[2] The Derby Silver Company operated showrooms in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.[1] As of 1893, the President and Manager of the company was Watson J. Miller. Wesley L. Clark was the Secretary and Treasurer.[3] In 1898, the company became a division of the International Silver Company headquartered in Meriden, CT, but continued making silver with its brand name until 1933, when the plant was closed.[4][1][5] Derby Silver Company designs are in a variety of museum collections including the Brooklyn Museum; Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; the Wolfsonian-FIU in Miami Beach; and the Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT.[6] Over the years, Derby Silver Company designs have been in exhibitions including the 1876 Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia; In pursuit of beauty: Americans and the Aesthetic Movement at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York (1986-87); Silver in America, 1840-1940: A century of splendor at the Dallas Museum of Art (1994-95); and Shaken, stirred, styled: The art of the cocktail also at the Dallas Museum (2016-17).[6] References1. ^1 2 (undated).
