A Satisfied Customer.
In the not too distant past, when a young lady wished to register her bridal silver, she would go to the local jeweler, where she was probably known to the owner, as her family had been purchasing their sterling there for many years. The jeweler would provide information on the various patterns and serving pieces available, the difference between luncheon, dinner or place sizes and answer questions as to the history of the many designs. Then he would wrap it and have it delivered next door or across the country. For the most part these personal services no longer exist, particularly if a discontinued silver pattern is needed.
We at Pillsbury-Michel have been selling antique silver and matching discontinued sterling patterns for over twenty years. With the opening of our shop in Houston, we quickly became aware of the need for a silver shopping service that included all of the above plus new sterling flatware and plated hollowware pieces as well. Our goal is to see to it that our customers have all of the information they need in order to make the appropriate and correct decisions in their silver purchases and for our customers to be satisfied with their investments for years to come.
