Reflection

There is something singularly elegant about the reflection of silver. Our trip to The Met a few weeks ago provided a glimpse of their American Collection in storage, the repetition of early silver gave brought William Nicholson's silver still lifes to mind. Elegant, understated and untarnished by time:
