Robert Hendery trained as a silversmith in Scotland and immigrated to Canada in 1837. He produced work for the major Montreal retailers and before long he was Montreal's, and probably Canada's, best silversmith. In the 1860s he was the main Canadian maker of silver for the important firm of Savage and Lyman, whose marks appear on this presentation claret jug and goblets.
