|
ARTHUR J. STONE (1847-1938), sketch for a teapot, November 4, 1911. Arthur J. Stone, a leading silversmith, was trained and worked in Sheffield, England, and Edinburgh, Scotland, prior to coming to the United States in 1884. He was one of the last silversmiths in America to train apprentices to carry out designs in hand-wrought silver. In 1901, Stone set up a workshop in Gardner, which operated under his name until its sale in 1937 to Henry Heywood, a Gardner businessman, who renamed it The Stone Silver Shop, and later, Stone Associates. Heywood died in 1945. His sons Henry, Jr. and Jerome ran Stone Associates until 1957. Records of Stone Associates, Gardner, Massachusetts. Gift of Jerome A. Heywood, 1979-1980, and Janet J. Loop, 1997. |
