From Internet Source

"Born in Victoria, British Columbia in 1894, William Morris Carmichael received most of his training in England. His father opened their first store in 1927 on Government Street and two years later they moved to Fort Street where they remained. The firm became known for quality silver plate made in the Old Sheffield Plate style using a sheet of copper fused between two sheets of silver and then rolled and chased. Decoration often incorporating local flowers and indigenous designs, and rare pieces were made in sterling silver and are today highly collectible. Many works were commissioned including a Thunderbird bowl for King George V and Queen Mary in 1935. For years Carmichael was the only silversmith west of Toronto and is now sought after by collectors. Works can be found in museums in both Victoria and Vancouver."
