One
of the very best Scandinavian master silversmiths settled in New York.
Peer Smed (born Peer Schmidt) was born in 1878 in Copenhagen, the son of
a blacksmith. He became an expert metal crafter and produced objects
somewhat in the Jensen style but with characteristic touches that
clearly marked them as his. Smed designed pieces for the royal families
of Denmark and Sweden, who awarded him medals for artistry.


When
he was 25, Smed visited America for four years. In 1909, after
returning briefly to Denmark, he then moved permanently to Brooklyn, NY
where he started his own art metal crafting studio at 176 Johnson
Street. Smed worked there for the rest of his life, creating handmade
objects in a variety of different metals. His flatware creations are
especially scarce.
