The Smith Metal Arts Company (also known simply as Smith Metal Arts) is a Buffalo, New York-based manufacturer renowned for its high-end metal, leather, and plastic desk and office accessories. Founded in 1919 by former craftsmen of the Heintz Art Metal Shop after the sudden death of Otto Heintz, the company is famous for its patented iconic “Silver Crest” line of sterling-overlaid bronze. They frequently collaborated with Tiffany & Co. up into the 1970s and today operate as Smith McDonald after a merger with McDonald Products in the 1990s, manufacturing premium executive desk accessories.
