George Westinghouse (1846-1914) was a wealthy American entrepeneur who strongly supported the Industrial Revolution. He is best remembered for his inventions in the electrical fields, as he developed the braking system for trains.

Tiffany & Co had a selection of grand Russian Silver and enamel from 1893 onwards. It was very popular amongst the wealthy clientele and the demand for Russian productions increased steadily.
