Shopper’s Diary: E. R. Butler in New York

April 28, 2009

We recently found ourselves lingering in front of the Chris Lehrecke window display at our favorite NYC hardware shop, E. R. Butler. The simple brick warehouse at 53-55 Prince Street is the surviving portion of the legendary Prince Street Works, the silver department of Tiffany & Co. From this building—in use by Tiffany until 1897—some of the most influential American silver designs flowed. E.R. Butler carries on the tradition set by Tiffany, offering some of the most refined hardware and decorative objects we’ve seen anywhere.
