Footnote:
Established in New York in 1872, Dominick & Haff quickly earned a reputation for refined craftsmanship and meticulous hand-finishing. The firm’s early 20th-century patterns exemplify the graceful restraint of Edwardian silver design—favoring elegant proportions and understated decoration over the excesses of the previous era. In 1928, the company merged with Reed & Barton, preserving its legacy among the foremost American silversmiths of the Gilded Age.
