The second son of a German count, Anthony Rasch was trained as a silversmith in France and worked in Philadelphia before establishing his business at 75 Chartres Street. Rasch produced silverware in “either French or English taste,” which he sold alongside imported Sheffield plate, silver from France and Philadelphia, and Saratoga mineral water.
