Scott Smith, Digby Smith and Benjamin Smith II were prominent London silversmiths who played significant roles in the world of silver craftsmanship during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Each of them contributed to the success and reputation of the renowned Smith family of silversmiths.

Benjamin Smith I (1754-1833) was the patriarch of the Smith family of silversmiths. He was born in London in 1754 and trained under the renowned silversmith William Abdy. In 1782, Benjamin Smith I established his own silver workshop in London and quickly gained recognition for his exceptional silverware. He was known for producing high-quality pieces in various styles, including neoclassical and Georgian. His work was highly sought after by the aristocracy and upper classes.

Scott, Digby, and Benjamin Smith II were the sons of Benjamin Smith I. They continued their father's legacy of craftsmanship and expanded the family's reputation in more... the silver industry.

Scott Smith (1788-1813) was the eldest son of Benjamin Smith I and played a significant role in the family business. He was known for his talent as a silversmith and his contributions to the production of exquisite silverware. Unfortunately, his life was cut short when he passed away at the young age of 25 in 1813.

Digby Scott Smith (1792-1857) the second son, carried on the family tradition and made valuable contributions to the firm's success. He became a partner in the family workshop and helped maintain the high standards of craftsmanship established by his father.

Benjamin Smith II (1793-1865), the youngest of the three, also joined the family business. He continued to produce silverware of exceptional quality and was instrumental in preserving the Smith family's reputation as premier silversmiths.

The Smith family's silver workshop operated under various names, including Benjamin Smith & Sons and Scott, Digby, & Benjamin Smith II, depending on the partners involved. Their work encompassed a wide range of styles, including Georgian, Regency, and early Victorian designs, which reflected the evolving tastes of their clientele.

The silversmiths of this era often created pieces such as tea and coffee sets, serving utensils, candelabras, and decorative objects that showcased their exceptional skills. Today, antique pieces crafted by Benjamin Smith I, Scott Smith, Digby Scott Smith, and Benjamin Smith II are highly prized by collectors and enthusiasts for their historical significance and craftsmanship. The Smith family's legacy as distinguished London silversmiths continues to be celebrated in the world of decorative arts. less...
