Starr was a company of silversmiths founded in New York in 1862 by Theodore Starr. In 1864 he was joined by Herman Marcus, and the company became Starr and Marcus. Marcus left to join Tiffany in 1877, and Starr bought back control of the company, with the company name becoming Theodore B. Starr. The company was incorporated in 1907 by Starr's son, before being purchased in 1918 by Reed and Barton, a silver company, and finally closing in 1923. Starr encouraged Henry Schrady to launch miniature bronzes that the company could launch and sell copies. The bronzes made by Schrady were among the first in the United States to use the lost wax process. It was in Starr's gallery that Karl Bitter first saw Schrady's work, and he hired him to make larger versions of his elk and buffalo elk sculptures at the exhibition. Pan American of 1901. A cast of the bull moose can be found in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Theodore B. Starr also sold bronze castings by Henri Crenier and was the dealer for the work of Solon Borglum. The photos are an integral part of the description.
