Galmer Fine Silver was founded by Michael Izrael Galmer in Long Island City, New York, in 1981. Having just arrived to the US from his native Russia along with his wife, Galina and young daughter, Zina - the artist soon set up workshop in a garage. His doctorate in physics & chemistry, combined with a love of art & sculpture, melded perfectly as a platform as he began perfecting his skills and inventing creative and unique alternatives to silver making. Michael’s vision of a company which could combine his artistic passion for nature and design with his technical expertise and ingenuity was coming to life. Galmer Fine Silver was born - its name a refashioning of the combined names of Galina and Michael as a tribute to their love and partnership. Committed to the ancient art of repoussé (meaning “pushing-from-the-back”), Galmer began producing ravishing silver works reminiscent of early 1900 American tabletop. He and his workshop quickly became legendary for their custom silver creations commissioned by connoisseurs, collectors and museums.
