In 1798, T.D. Boardman and his brother, Sherman, established a pewter and silver business along the Connecticut River in Hartford, Connecticut. As other
BOARDMAN artisans entered the business in various places around the Northeast, the BOARDMAN name became renowned for incomparable quality and fine craftsmanship.The BOARDMAN heritage continues TODAY at BOARDMAN
SILVERSMITHS under the guidance and direction of Burton Boardman, President & CEO. Burton, who succeeded his father, JOSEPH, in 1972, served a youthful apprenticeship in the company under the direction of the master spinners
and silversmiths the company employed. Because the firm's President is a skilled craftsman with a deep respect for his colleagues, Burton does things differently. There are no assembly lines, no supervisors - each artisan maintains
total control of the custom piece throughout the entire production phase, and is in charge of verifying its flawlessness before he begins to work on it and again after he finishes the piece.
Perfection thus becomes a matter of personal pride and, so, a matter of course.
BOARDMAN SILVERSMITH'S commitment to EXCELLENCE extends beyond product to service.
