About the silversmith – Birks Regency Plate
Henry Birks & Sons Ltd., founded in 1879 in Montreal, Canada, became the country’s most prestigious jeweller and silversmith — often referred to as the Canadian equivalent of Tiffany & Co.
The Birks Regency Plate line was introduced as their luxury silver-plated collection, produced between the 1930s and 1970s. Each piece was crafted with a heavy silver deposit, offering outstanding durability and a brilliance close to sterling silver.
Birks designs such as Richmond, Louis XV, Primrose and Chantilly reflect the refinement of French and English 18th-century tableware. Sold through Birks’ elegant stores in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, these pieces became symbols of timeless North-American elegance and craftsmanship.
Today, Birks Regency Plate remains highly regarded among collectors for its exceptional quality, refined detailing, and enduring shine.
