To coincide with Goldsmiths' Centre's The Culture of Cutlery exhibition we are pleased to offer the opportunity to visit Cutlers' Hall in the City of London. On this visit you will learn about the history of the Company and its current Hall built in 1888, adorned on the outside with a finely carved terracotta frieze illustrating cutlers working at their craft.
The tour will take you into the Court Room, Livery Hall with its Victorian hammer beam roof, as well as the collection of silver, artefacts, historical swords and cutlery. The cutlery collection ranges from Stone Age tools to the cutlery of today, from the cheapest of mass-produced knives to exquisite items of gold and ivory encrusted with jewels.
This event coincides with the exhibition The Culture of Cutlery, which will be held from 22 April to 24 June 2026 at the Goldsmiths’ Centre. The exhibition explores the material history of cutlery with a focus on 20th and 21st-century UK makers. Order the exhibition catalogue here.
