Cork - a revolutionary city, that has a deep, rich & rebellious history. Take a trip back to 1922, where in the midst of the civil war, the rebel county was attempting to rebuild from the rubbles of the burning of Cork in 1920. One man left an important mark during this time, his name was Barry Egan, a silversmith & creator of Cork Republican Silverware. During the civil war, all silver had to be sent to the Assay Office in Dublin to be hallmarked, but the war proved it to be a difficult task. Thus Cork silver was created - a rare silver hallmark bearing the coat of arms of Cork city, created by Egan that tells the tales of Cork during this turbulent time.
