Graham Stewart is a designer, gold and silversmith who has been running his workshop and gallery in Dunblane, Scotland since 1978. Working along with his small team of skilled and long established craftsmen, he produces innovative, clean-lined, sculptural pieces of silver from high profile commemorative presentation pieces to fine quality functional silver.

The silver is produced using traditional techniques such as raising, spinning, cold forging, planishing, and chasing. Graham specialises in fine hand-cut engraving. He also designs and makes a small range of fine jewellery.

Little Globe Candelabra

Graham Stewart’s first candelabra was made with his father, who constructed pieces with great care and precision, a practice which continues in Graham’s workshop.

This design has been distilled and simplified from versions over many years, with multiple considerations before and while putting pencil to paper. These include the play of light, reflective qualities, functional stability, visual balance and any possible symbolism. One inspiration was the Sun Chariot, constructed 3,400 years ago. The design is a composition of squares and circles. It is modest in scale and hopefully might enrich a small gathering.
