Probably the leading mini silversmith in the world, Pete Acquisto makes remarkable miniature versions of historical silver. His limited edition pieces are splendid, and command the kind of prices you would expect to pay for full-size silver, but we’ve been fortunate enough to start building up a modest collection of his work. Hopefully, in the future, we can manage one or more of his more dramatic pieces.
