On Wednesday, November 24 beginning at 8 p.m., WSBE Rhode Island PBS presents the three-part documentary series that highlights the bold ingenuity, brilliant artistry, and storied legacy of the Gorham Manufacturing Company - one of America's most recognizable silver foundries. Chasing Silver: The Story of Gorham, a Rhode Island PBS Original almost three years in the making, follows the company from its small, enterprising origins in 1831, to its rise as a world-class titan of silver manufacturing, and its subsequent decline after more than 130 years of brilliance. Combining contemporary interviews with archival footage, photographs, and original concept art, the series chronicles how Gorham became synonymous with luxury and unparalleled craftsmanship. Meet the academic experts, former employees, museum curators, and collectors entrusted to preserve the legacy of Gorham, providing a compelling, firsthand account of the company's local roots and lasting impact on American industry.
