James Gordon

James Gordon was apprenticed in 1759-60 to Coline Allan, who was one of Aberdeen's leading goldsmiths. He was admitted to the Hammermen Incorporation in 1766 and took a number of apprentices over the next 27 years including Benjamin Lumsden and William Jamieson. He seems to have run a flourishing business both as a jeweller and goldsmith, and produced prolific quantities of work.
