Inkerman Silver

HOW IT ALL BEGAN..... Samuel Eales returned from the Crimean war in late 1855, and devised a strategy to manufacture the best cutlery in the world. From humble beginnings, Samuel Eales Silverware was born. The key to Samuel’s success and longevity was that he understood the needs of his customers. They demanded value, timely service and above all quality. With this in mind, Samuel would employ only the highest skilled craftsmen. The skills, techniques and manufacturing processes that expertly crafted Sheffield’s finest cutlery from the late 1850’s have been handed down from generation to generation of craftsmen to ensure the same exceptional standards. Inkerman Silver is the trading name of Samuel Eales Silverware Ltd. In 1991 the trading name changed to Inkerman Silver to honour the founder, Samuel Eales who fought in the battle of Inkerman before establishing his company. INKERMAN SILVER TODAY..... Despite our continued growth in the hospitality industry, Inkerman Silver remains a family run business with a long and proud history. We continue to produce the highest quality Sheffield made cutlery in hallmarked sterling silver, silver plate and stainless steel along with our in-house cabinet and holloware divisions. Each item is individually hand crafted and comes with the Inkerman guarantee of quality that will last a lifetime.
