Chasing Silver: the Story of Gorham Silver

Post by blakstone »

Hoping this is the correct place to post this (though wishing it could go somewhere that has a bit more traffic). I wanted to let members know that Rhode Island PBS recently aired a three-part documentary on the history of Gorham Silver. It’s really very well done, including not only the history of the company, but also the changing trends and designs of silver in the last century and a half, as well as the transition from handicraft to industrialism to corporatism (and the positives and negatives of each). You can stream all three episodes free on the RIPBS website:
