On Wednesday night, architect and collector Peter Marino celebrated the signing of his new book, "Tiffany Silver: The Peter Marino Collection," at the Tiffany & Co. Landmark on Fifth Avenue in New York. The oversized publication features over 130 photographs of Tiffany & Co. silver alongside original drawings from Marino’s archives. A private space on the top floor of the flagship—which Marino himself reimagined in 2023—displayed selections from his personal collection of Tiffany silver, including teapots, plates, brooches, and ornamental jewelry. Guests received signed copies of the book, which highlights 19th-century vases, pitchers, trophies, and other works that established Tiffany & Co. as a leading American silversmith.
The event underscores the deep intersection of architecture, collecting, and luxury retail, with Marino—a prominent architect and collector—using his expertise to curate and document a significant private collection of Tiffany silver. The book and signing also draw attention to the enduring cultural and historical value of Tiffany & Co.’s craftsmanship, while highlighting how private collections can shape and preserve the legacy of iconic American design houses. For the art and design world, it reinforces the role of collectors as custodians of material history and the power of luxury brands to anchor cultural events.
