    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    What an Edward Hopper painting is worth depends on its size, condition, historical significance and other factors. In 2018, his painting Chop Suey fetched more than $91.8 million at a New York auction. Depicting two women chatting face-to-face in a restaurant, the oil painting is an excellent example of Hopper's interest in capturing the everyday lives of people living in New York City during the first half of the 20th century. In Hopper’s vision, the people inhabiting his city and suburban scenes are often lonely, anonymous, temporary inhabitants of sometimes inhospitable environments. When there is no human element, he transfers these qualities to the architecture or even to the landscape itself, using intense light to infuse emotion. If you own a Hopper painting, a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer can assist you with the valuation process. Shop an assortment of Edward Hopper art on 1stDibs.

    To identify Ken Edwards pottery, look at the bottom, where you will usually find maker's markings. Artists working for the maker often hand-paint the Ken Edwards brand name or the initials “KE” on the pieces they produce. A painted animal frequently accompanies the brand signature and identifies the specific artist who produced it. You can find images of all the pieces in the Traditional and Collection series on the official Ken Edwards website; these pictures can be helpful in the identification process. A certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer can also aid you in making an identification. Shop a range of Ken Edwards pottery on 1stDibs.

  • Is Holmes & Edwards inlaid real silver?
    1 Answer
    1stDibs ExpertSeptember 4, 2024
    Yes, Holmes & Edwards inlaid silverware and other objects are made with real silver. While the company manufactured many types of tableware, including pieces made of solid silver and silver-plated objects, the American manufacturer's inlaid silverware owed to a unique inlay manufacturing process pioneered by Holmes & Edwards. The process, which was patented by New York inventor William A. Warner and acquired by the firm, involved inserting extra sterling silver into key areas of utensils to reduce wear and tear.
