The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Collection overview
The Met holds Spratling-designed flatware and hollowware from the 1991 Florene M. Schoenborn gift, assigned to the Department of Modern and Contemporary Art. Note the Met's own records date the group ca. 1909, which is inconsistent with Spratling's career; the attribution and accession numbers are reliable, the date is not.

Holdings are compiled from the institution's own published collection records, museum labels, and documented first-person study, and verified before listing. Only individually identified silver objects count toward the documented-works total; institution-reported collection totals are listed separately, and related works in other media (paintings, prints, drawings, archives) are labeled by medium and never counted. Images appear only where the institution's license permits or from our own in-gallery photography, credited, and are removed on request. See an error? Submit a correction.
