History

Founded in 1969 by Grant Macdonald, Grant Macdonald began as a silversmith workshop and became a limited company in 1977.[1] By the early 1980s Grant Macdonald produced many pieces for the Middle Eastern market.[2]

In 1998 they remade the orb and cross for the Dresden Frauenkirche which was installed in 2004.[3][4] This piece was required to be made using the same materials and making process as the 18th-century original, which was destroyed by Allied bombings during World War II.[5] Master silversmith Alan Smith took on the work of recreating the seven-meter structure, and this was very fitting as his father had been one of the Royal Air Force pilots during the raids.[6][7]

In 2006, the company received The Queen's Award for Enterprise in recognition of their exports.[1] In 2016 the company was awarded a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales as Goldsmiths and Silversmiths.[6][8]
