Silversmiths

Kent Silversmiths
Taunton, MA 1936-Present
Founded by Lewis E. Ellmore and Michael C. Fina. Makers
and importers of primarily silverplate holloware, some sterling.

William Kendrick (b. 1810 d. 1880)
Louisville, KY 1831-1880
Was in the partnerships of Lemon & Kendrick with James Innes
Lemon 1831-1841 and later Kendrick & Son with William Carnes
Kendrick 1873-1880. Upon William Kendrick's death in 1880, his
other son, George P. Kendrick, joined with William Carnes Kendrick
and continued the business as jewelers under the name William Kendrick's Sons which remained in business
until 1932. It is likely that any silver with the Kendrick mark made after 1840 was not actually made by
Kendrick, but rather retailed by him.

Thaddeus Keeler
New York, NY 1805-1813
In the firm of N. & T. Keeler with Nathan Keeler in 1809.

The Kalo Shop
Chicago, IL 1900-1970
Founded by Clara Barck Welles and a major influence in the American
Arts & Crafts Movement. Maker of handwrought sterling flatware,
holloware, jewelry and novelties. When The Kalo Shop first opened, a
variety of artistic goods were sold: textiles, copper and silver items,
leather goods, baskets, and jewelry. In 1912 a branch was opened in New York,
but was short lived. In 1914 Welles decided to focus on her handwrought copper
and silver items for which she was becoming well known. Many silversmiths who
would ater gain renown in their own right got their start at Kalo. In 1939 Welles
retired to California, and in 1959 she turned the shop over to four of her craftsmen.
When the last of the four died in 1970, The Kalo Shop closed its doors. See flatware patterns.
