ITALIAN SILVERSMITH AND JEWELLER ADVERTISEMENTS



A selection of 18th/19th/20th century advertisements from the Italian silver trade. Some may be manufacturers, some may be wholesalers/retailers only, but all such information regarding those working in the trade is worth recording, especially for those doing further research.

The below is very much a work in progress, but, hopefully, in time it will turn into a useful resource.
