Title: Robert Welch / Old Hall Stainless Steel
Post by: josordoni on February 05, 2008, 07:53:49 AM

He has his own range of cutlery for Heals  (http://www.heals.co.uk/bin/venda?ex=co_wizr-productgrid&bsref=heals&step=shopcartmulti&invt=meridianbright&ordercol=alphanu&layout=default&source=affiliatewindow)now, and I believe he designed for Viners in the past, as did Gerald Benny.

He had a company based I think at Chipping Norton, but he designed for Old Hall, Heal's and many other companies. Some of his later ranges of cutlery are in the collections of the V&A, and elsewhere. Sadly I think he died @ 5 years ago, but along with David Mellor and Gerald Benney, one of a seriously important group of silversmith/designers.
