Homewares and the Jeweller industry have a very special history. Perhaps the term ‘silverware’ will ring a bell? The history of antique silver flatware services of the 19th and early 20th century was brought into popularity by makers such as Tiffany & Co. and Gorham who are still revered in the jewellery and silverware industries today. Such items made an important statement about personal wealth and status.
