Colonial Williamsburg Restoration Items
In 1951, Virginia Metalcrafters began its licensing program with Colonial Williamsburg, the pioneering restoration that would inspire many others to follow. The first restored buildings were opened to the public in 1932, and since then the restoration has grown to encompass the entire 18th-century town with over 500 buildings. In 1936, Colonial Williamsburg began an innovative program to bring high quality reproductions of antiques in its collections to the public.
The "Williamsburg 4XX Restoration" hallmark is found on those items which have been approved by the Colonial Williamsburg Foundation as meeting their exacting standards for authentic reproductions or adaptations.
