Lot Essay

Isaac Hutton (1766-1855) established one of Albany's most prolific silver firms and trained a number of local silversmiths. He was one of the incorporators of the Society for the Promotion of Useful Arts, a forerunner to the Albany Institute of Arts. His earliest work dates from the 1790s, but he was bankrupt by 1817 and left Albany.
