Henryk learned silversmithing from his father and he was Polish who fled to Russia during WWII. Most of his life he was denied the opportunity to be a silversmith suffering through Stalins Labor Camps. He immigrated to the US and began silversmithing here and became the one of the most notable silversmiths being the only ever to do a one man show in the Rotundra in Congress. Truly a Repousse master. His items are very collectible.
