Is Holmes Edwards inlaid real silver?
1 Answer
Yes, Holmes
Edwards inlaid silverware and other objects are made with real silver. While the company manufactured many types of tableware, including pieces made of solid silver and silver-plated objects, the American manufacturer's inlaid silverware owed to a unique inlay manufacturing process pioneered by Holmes
Edwards. The process, which was patented by New York inventor William A. Warner and acquired by the firm, involved inserting extra sterling silver into key areas of utensils to reduce wear and tear. Find antique Holmes
Edwards silver and other sterling silver objects for sale on 1stDibs.
