History

Founded in 1969 by Grant Macdonald, Grant Macdonald began as a silversmith workshop and became a limited company in 1977. By the early 1980s Grant Macdonald produced many pieces for the Middle Eastern market.
In 1998 they remade the orb and cross for the Dresden Frauenkirche which was installed in 2004. This piece was required to be made using the same materials and making process as the 18th-century original, which was destroyed by Allied bombings during World War II. This commission was a gift from the British people to the people of Dresden as an act of reconciliation. Master silversmith Alan Smith took on the work of recreating the seven-meter structure, and this was very fitting as his father had been one of the Royal Air Force pilots during the raids.
In 2006, the company received in recognition of their exports. In 2016 the company was awarded a Royal Warrant from the Prince of Wales as Goldsmiths and Silversmiths.
