1 gen 1641 anni - silversmith

Descrizione:

Sheffield had craftsmen who made silverware from the seventeenth century at least: 1641 <i>Edward Fisher of Sheffeld, silversmith</i> (TWH16/188). They were independent of the Cutlers’ Company and the craft did not really prosper until the 1700s when the success of the silver-plating industry gave it a new impetus. The trade grew in importance and in 1773 an Assay Office was set up in Sheffield that eventually expanded its influence well beyond the city’s boundaries.
