Binder, Wilhelm
Wilhelm Binder (Silberwarenfabrik W. Binder) was founded in July 1868 in Schwäbisch Gmünd - one of the centres of the German silver and gold industry - as silverware dealers. In 1873, the firm's founder, Wilhelm Binder, became co-owner with Dominikus Rudolph of a factory for small silverware in Schwäbisch Gmünd. In 1884, they took over the famous silverware company of Dominikus Kott, which was first established in 1829.
In 1898 the firm built a new factory to house its workforce of 300 people. This made Wilhelm Binder one of the largest of the German silversmiths in Schwäbisch Gmünd, which had over 120 gold and silverware manufacturers at the turn of the 20th century. In 1939, the firm was taken over by the Köhler brothers, owners of the jewellery and gold works L. C. Köhler, which was itself founded in the 1890's. Wilhelm Binder's silverware reflects the changing styles of the late-19th and early-20th century. Their work was highly regarded, not just for the design, but also for its superb workmanship. Although the firm was an enthusiastic adopter of the Art Nouveau/ Jugendstil style, their later works were much plainer - they even won a gold medal at the 1937 Paris World Exhibition for a stylish silver and ivory goblet designed by Wilhelm Wahl.
