Makers Directory and Pattern Library
Unlock a world of vintage silverware patterns with The Makers Ledger. Our pattern library is designed specifically for silverware artists, offering a comprehensive resource for identifying and understanding the history behind various designs.
A Treasure Trove of Silverware Patterns
As every vintage silverware artist knows there are 1000s of patterns by many different companies and if that's not enough over the years companies merge and acquire one another and some companies simply release patterns as a brand! It's all pretty convoluted. The Makers Ledger currently has over 500 patterns logged, each meticulously linked to its original maker and any alternative names it may have acquired over time.
