Marshall Field & Co. / Craft Shop
Chicago, IL 1903-Late 1940's
This well known department store established the Craft Shop where
handwrought items were made and bore the Marshall Field logo. A large array of items
were made from sterling and other metals, although the majority of sterling items were
made in the first half of their operation. The items the Craft Shop produced were very
popular, and the shop became a training ground for quite a number Arts & Crafts
silversmiths who would later gain importance in their own right. See flatware patterns.
