Jacobi & Jenkins operated out of Baltimore in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, a city that had its own distinct silversmithing tradition shaped by the famous Baltimore “repoussé” style—deep, lush floral chasing pressed into the silver so it seems almost sculptural. Their workshop leaned heavily into that aesthetic, producing teapots, vases, flatware, and presentation pieces that feel extravagant in hand, like every petal is alive and breathing. Unlike some firms that mass-produced designs, Jacobi & Jenkins specialized in these dense, richly worked surfaces that required a lot of labor from skilled artisans, giving their silver a kind of dense garden-in-metal quality. Pieces are often marked and fairly recognizable once you’ve handled a few, and they still carry a quiet reverence in collecting circles for that uniquely Baltimore blend of craftsmanship and exuberance.
