Edward Winslow was one of the very first American silversmiths. The image at right is of candlesticks which he made in about 1715 or 1720. They belonged to the estate of Adolph Mollenhauer Dick. They were purchased at auction in 1956 by his sister Doris Dick Havemeyer and her husband Horace Havemeyer. They were a bequest to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts in 1983.
