Full Description
The story of Newbridge Silverware is intertwined with the history of the town, its artisans, and a newly independent Ireland, told through a craft that has remained largely unchanged since the factory first opened in 1934.
As you tour the Newbridge Silverware Factory, you'll meet the skilled team behind each design. From the century-old pressing and stamping machines to the cutting-edge water jet technology, Newbridge Silverware blends modern innovation with time-honoured craftsmanship. Watch as tradition and technique come together, offering you a unique glimpse into collections of fine cutlery, dazzling jewellery, and much more.
Some techniques require a ten-year apprenticeship, while others were developed right here at the Newbridge Silverware factory by the expert makers. Your visit will add an extra shine to any Newbridge Silverware piece you take home or gift to someone special.
