Omar Ramsden Sold at Auction Prices

Commercial artist, b. 1873 - d. 1939

Known as a master silversmith and a pioneer of public relations and marketing in the artistic field, artist Omar Ramsden produced a significant body of work that remains highly desirable today. He was born in England in 1873, and his father owned a silver manufacturing and electroplating company. His famous partnership with Alwyn Carr, whom he met at the Sheffield School of Art, is among the most successful silversmithing collaborations in history. The duo’s initial work was the award-winning Mace for the City of Sheffield in 1898.

Artist Omar Ramsden and Carr handcrafted silverware together until the end of World War I. Ramsden continued to craft silver afterward, revolutionizing the field by branding his name on several pieces, something that was uncommon at the time. Since his death in 1939, Ramsden has been recognized as one of England’s greatest silversmiths. You can find Omar Ramsden's decorative art and silverware for sale and on display at galleries and museums across the globe.

Celebrated for its intricate detailing, innovative design and exceptional quality, Omar Ramsden silver remains prized amongst collectors and enthusiasts alike. Ramsden's work is a celebration of nature, inspired by the Art Nouveau movement's organic forms and intricate decorative motifs. He wove elements of flowers, foliage and animals into his designs with such finesse that they seemed to come alive. His creations were more than mere objects - they were works of art, each one telling its own story through intricate patterns and delicate detailing. Ramsden's commitment to traditional craftsmanship was evident in every piece he created. He used age-old techniques such as hand-hammering and chasing to create intricate surface textures and patterns that added a sense of depth and dimension to his work. Throughout his career, Ramsden received numerous prestigious commissions, including a silver casket for Queen Mary in 1926 and a ceremonial mace for the University of Reading in 1927. His work is today held at prestigious institutions, including the British Museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum and the Fitzwilliam Museum.
