Alexander Ritchie Website

Hello from David James and Christina Brundage,

We thought you would be interested in our new site -
http://www.alexander-ritchie.co.uk/ - which is a tribute to the
wonderful craftwork of Scottish silversmiths Alexander and Euphemia
Ritchie, who lived and worked on the tiny island of Iona in Scotland's
Inner Hebrides from c.1900 to their death in 1941. The Ritchies were
pioneers of the Celtic art revival of the early 20th century, and the
quality of their work has yet to be surpassed.

Recently an increasing number of Celtic enthusiasts are becoming
acquainted with their work, which by some is seen as being a metalwork
equivalent of George Bain's beautiful art. Our intention is to provide
a website where not only information about the Ritchies can be
gleaned, but examples of their silver and other metalwork from the
early 20th century can be seen.

If you are already familar with the work of the Ritchies and have any
unusual pictures you would like to send us for inclusion on the site,
we will be happy to do so free of charge. Please send pictures in jpg
format not more that 50KB in size.

We hope very much that you enjoy the site - and if you do please leave
any comments about your visit in the Comments/Visitors book on the
main page.

Slainte and best wishes,

David and Christina
