RW&S Sterling

RW&S stands for Reed, Wade & Smith, a lesser-known American silver firm that was active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Based in Providence, Rhode Island, RW&S produced sterling silver flatware, hollowware, and other tableware items that reflected the popular styles of the time. The company’s silver marks typically include “RW&S” along with “Sterling” and may feature additional hallmarks, monograms, or pattern numbers depending on the piece. While not as widely recognized as larger manufacturers, RW&S silver is appreciated for its craftsmanship and period authenticity. Pieces bearing the RW&S mark may be especially interesting to collectors of American Victorian or Edwardian silver. Identifying RW&S sterling silver marks can help determine a piece’s origin, age, and potential value, particularly when found in antique shops or estate collections.
