Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers
The
Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers is one of the
Livery Companies of the
City of London. The Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers were incorporated by
Royal Charter in 1693; the City granted it the status of a Livery Company in 1780. The craft originally associated with the Company, the making of gold and silver thread for uniforms or ceremonial clothing, has declined; the Company no longer retains a link to such a trade. Instead, the Company functions as a charitable body.
The Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers' Company ranks seventy-fourth in the order of precedence for Livery Companies. Its motto is Amicitiam Trahit Amor, Latin for Love Derives From Friendship.
