Thisissome informationI foundabout Mr.Carmichael:

W.M. Carmichael was Victoria-born and educated, the son of a professional engineer and artistic mother who had trained at the Slade School of Fine Art. After a brief practice in civil engineering and service in the First World War, he opened his first workshop behind his parents\' home in Oak Bay.

The first products were jewellery and electroplated tableware made to Carmichael\'s own designs. In 1924 a Sheffield-trained silversmith, George Bennett, joined the firm and showrooms were opened in Victoria. Expansion continued during the 1920s with the establishment of a larger factory on Government Street in 1927, followed in 1929 by the construction of the impressive Tudor revival business premises on Fort Street. The firm prospered, even during the 1930s. From 1935 to 1940 a showroom on Vancouver\'s Howe Street was maintained by the firm and supplied from the Victoria workshops. Mr. Carmichael died in 1954.
