I copied this from the internet -

\"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. At the outbreak of war this was closed, however, and the firm concentrated on copper and brass utensils used to equip the warships being constructed and refitted in the shipyards at Victoria and Esquimalt. Major commissions over the years included church plate for Victoria\'s Anglican parishes, ecclesiastical accoutrements for the diocese, a mace for the cruiser H.M.C.S. Ontario, and flatware for the Capilano Golf and Country Club. On Carmichael\'s death in 1954 the business was turned over to the directorship of his second wife.

William Maurice Carmichael Although he cannot be properly considered “a major manufacturer” we have a soft spot for William Maurice Carmichael as he was the only silversmith of note from British Columbia. While the majority of Carmichael’s production was high quality silver plate he did make a number of sterling silver articles for his general stock and for special commissions. Carmichael produced goods using a combination of hand and machine work and made numerous special commissions including The Thunderbird & Whale Bowl presented to King George V by the Government of British Columbia.\"
