Following in a longstanding metalsmithing tradition, Thomas Mann hallmarks all of his work. Wherever possible a stamp carrying the TM logo is tooled (driven by a hammer) into the back surface of the piece in order to identify the maker. This hallmarking assures you that the work is original and made in Thomas Mann Design studios. It will also assure that the work will be identifiable into the future and may serve to substantiate it¹s increasing value. Additionally the work is signed and when possible and appropriate, dated, using an engraving tool. If you have questions about the authenticity of Thomas Mann work in your possession, please feel free to contact us by e-mail or phone for assistance.
