1 Answer
There are a few famous silversmiths in Birmingham. The British city became a major center for silver production in the 18th century, and several silver factories continue to operate in its jewelry quarter to this day. One silversmith largely credited with helping to establish the silver trade in Birmingham is Matthew Boulton, who founded the Soho Manufactory in 1762. Other notable silversmiths who worked in Birmingham include Thomas Willmore, Nathaniel Mills, George Unite, Albert Edward Jones and. J. W. Evans. Find a large collection of silver decor on 1stDibs.
