Handcrafted in America since 1796Pewter from Boardman Silversmiths retains its luster without ever tarnishing. Boardman uses only the finest and the heaviest of lead-free pewter that is an alloy of 92% pure tin, 7% pure antimony, and 1% copper. Precise curves and contours are achieved by using spinning leverage up to 900 psi. With a steady freehand touch, artisans then solder on solid and hollow fittings (solid fittings by centrifugal casting; hollow fittings are hand-formed in bronze using slush casting techniques dating back to the 17th century).Each piece is hand polished by highly skilled craftsmen using imported pumice and then hand buffed to either a flawless bright finish or satin finish. The bright finish is similar in appearance to polished sterling but does not require the same upkeep. Custom engraving and photo etching of Boardman pewter and sterling are available. Company logos also can be engraved. |
The Boardman heritage of quality has deep roots going back to the year 1798 when T.D. Boardman and his brother established a pewter and silver crafting concern. The name Boardman has been renowned over 200 years for incomparable quality and craftsmanship. Today each piece is an individual work of art crafted by an artisan, who is responsible for its flawless quality from start to finish. Thus every piece is distinctive and unique, yet perfectly matched with all others of its kind due to each craftman's unerring eye and touch. Most of our pewter pieces also are available in sterling silver - please contact the 125West Concierge for more information. Handcrafted in USA
