Silversmiths

This page updated November 5, 2005




A silversmith works with precious metals such as gold and silver. Often in the 18th century, a silversmith would call himself a goldsmith for the added prestige. The "smith" part of the name indicates that hammers are used for shaping the silver (the word smith derives from the word smite, meaning to hit or strike). Flatware (knives, spoons and forks), hollowware (hollow vessels) and jewelry are all crafted in this manner.
