Gorham Silver was founded inProvidence, Rhode Island, 1831 by Jabez Gorham,[3]a master craftsman, in partnership with Henry L. Webster.[4]The firm\'s chief product was spoons ofcoin silver. The company also made thimbles, combs, jewelry, and other small items. In 1842, the Congress enacted a tariff which effectively blocked the importation of silverware from outside the United States, which aided the American silver industry. Jabez Gorham did not take full advantage of this opportunity, but in 1847 Jabez retired and his son, John Gorham[5]succeeded him as head of the company.

John Gorham introduced mechanized production methods, enlarged the premises in downtown Providence, improved the designs, and expanded the product line. In 1852, Gorham toured many of Europe\'s silver workshops and manufacturers, speaking with individual specialists, including master craftsmen and toolmakers. He sought highly skilled foreign workmen to train his American workers and hiredGeorge Wilkinson, a premier designer and workshop manager, from England. In 1865, the Rhode Island legislature granted a charter in the name ofGorham Manufacturing Companyand in 1890, the company relocated to a factory on Adelaide Avenue in Providence.
