John Power was a distinguished silversmith working in Dublin during the late 18th century, known for producing high-quality silverware. His works remain a testament to the craftsmanship and style of Georgian Ireland. The Old English pattern, which Power utilized, was popular throughout the 18th century and has maintained its classic appeal over the centuries.
