Repoussι Manufacturer Holloware Flatware Miscellaneous Coin Silver Foreign Indexes
This page will list hand-wrought pieces of both flatware and holloware alphabetically by manufacturer. The revival of old craft techniques in opposition to the increasing mechanization used in the production of the industrial arts was gaining adherents in the late nineteenth century and became increasingly popular with a small segment of the consumers in the twentieth century. In America the primary early centers were Boston MA and Chicago IL although there were certainly practitioners allover as courses were taught at both the high school and collegiate level. The training of silversmiths and jewelers continues to the present and it is still possible to commission designs and work to your specifications and taste.
