Sambonet

In 1856, after earning a Fine Arts diploma, Giuseppe Sambonet, son of a nobleman from Vercelli, got a Master Goldsmith licence and established the company Giuseppe Sambonet, registering the seal bearing the initials “GS” with the mint in Turin. By the early 20th century his company was the Official Supplier to many noble families, including the Duchess of Genoa and the Count of Turin. In 1932 Sambonet was the first company in Italy to build an industrial manufacturing plant for both sterling silver and galvanic silverware.
