Since 1975, silversmith Stephen Smithers has been researching and refining the classic art of Silversmithing, as practiced by master gold and silversmiths throughout history. Through the process of performing restoration and conservation on thousands of early metal objects, Steve has gained an intuitive sense of the original working methods, which has influenced the design, construction and craftsmanship of his own silver, brass, and bronze pieces.
Among the many clients with whom Steve has worked on exhibitions, symposiums, commissions, and consulting assignments are: Winterthur Museum and Country Estate, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Historic Deerfield, the Yale University Art Gallery, the Clark Art Institute, the Wadsworth Atheneum, and the Paul Revere House.
Steve and his son Chris continue to carry on the classic art of silversmithing in a small shop in the hills of Ashfield, Massachusetts, where they design and produce silver and brass tableware and lighting on commission, as well as restore and conserve period metalware.
