About MeOmar Ramsden (1873–1939) was a Sheffield-born silversmith. He was one of England's leading designers and makers of silverware. He lived on Fir Street in Walkley, Yorkshire.

Ramsden collaborated for many years with Alwyn Carr (1872-1940), establishing the Ramsden & Carr studio together in Chelsea in 1898, but their partnership ended in 1919. Ramsden's mark used after their split was OMAR RAMSDEN ME FECIT (Latin: 'Omar Ramsden made me')
