Samuel Kirk (February 15, 1793 – July 6, 1872) was an American
silversmith, active in Baltimore, Maryland, and best known for his introduction
of repoussé to the United States. He engaged in various partnerships with his
sons under the names of S. Kirk and Son and S. Kirk and Sons. In 1979 S. Kirk
Son was purchased by the Stieff Company, which renamed itself Kirk Stieff.



The repousse’ technique became very
popular with mid-19th century American silver makers, especially those
working in the city of Baltimore, Maryland. Out of Baltimore
emerged a number of silver manufacturing companies who, driven by a
creative and entrepreneurial spirit, produced a range of highly
ornate tableware and holloware in numerous repousse-styled
patterns. So closely associated is Baltimore with repousse silver,
that the highly ornate and deeply patterned silver created there came be
to known as Baltimore Style Repousse. Some of Baltimore’s early
silver companies, such as Stieff and Kirk, remain important
names in the history of American silver and the repousse patterns they created
are among the most enduringly popular silver patterns ever made.
