Theodore B. Starr was among the most prominent and influential jewellery and silversmithing firms in New York, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Born in 1837, Theodore Starr founded his company in 1862, at No.18 John Street. He went into partnership with jeweller and silversmith, Herman Marcus, in 1864. The company became known as Starr and Marcus. Marcus left to join Tiffany & Co., in 1877. Starr bought back control of the company, with the name of the company reverting to Theodore B. Starr. The company was incorporated in 1907, by Starr’s son. On 1st July, 1918, their stock was purchased by the silver firm of Reed and Barton. The firm maintained a shop at 47th Street and Fifth Avenue. Theodore B. Starr finally closed its doors in 1923.
