Guest Leipzig Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Silver Chasers from 1822-1925, from SheffieldRecordsOnline, now, what did/does a "Silver Chaser" actually do ? William FIRTH Silver chaser 16 New Church Street Baine's 1822 Joseph WORSTENHOLM Silver chaser 2 Worstenholm's Yard, Carver Street Baine's 1822 Thos. Newman BARDWELL Silver Chaser & Embosser 139 Norfolk Street Kelly's 1893 John ARCHER silver chaser Hill Street White's 1833 etc etc Hi RichardB My 3rd great grandfather was the John ARCHER in your list. He was the father of Henry ARCHER (1831-1919), who was a quite well known Sheffield silver chaser in his time. A silver chaser basically puts designs or decorative work onto silverware. For instance if you had a spun silver bowl, the chaser would first raise areas from the inside of the bowl with special metal stakes. The bowl would then be filled with pitch and left to cool. The pitch would then support the shape of the bowl while the design or pattern was applied to the outside of the bowl using punches and small hammers. This would result in a 3D, sculptured effect to the design. The pitch would then be melted out of the bowl. Basically the design is applied to an item by using a selection of punches together with a hammer. Not to be confused with engraving where the design is cut into metal (i.e. engraving - metal is actually removed to create the design).
