An Important Chapter in American Silver History

The International Silver Company was formed in 1898 through the consolidation of numerous prominent New England silversmiths, including several firms with deep roots in American silver production. Headquartered in Meriden, Connecticut — often called the “Silver City” — the company quickly became one of the largest and most influential silver manufacturers in the United States. Its sterling silver flatware and hollowware were widely recognized for their quality, craftsmanship, and distinctive designs.
