Andrew Fogelberg
Andrew Fogelberg, London silversmith, no record of apprenticeship or freedom. Thought to be of Swedish origin, possibly having arrived in London already trained as a goldsmith. He was first listed in 1773, his 1st mark presumed entered in the missing register of that date. 2nd mark (2 sizes) in partnership with Stephen Gilbert 1780. Grimwade describes Fogelberg’s work as “shows an elegant restrained classicism, particularly in his speciality of the use of small cameo-like medallions based on the Tassie paste gems popular in England at that time.
