Dinah Gamon (née Tillett[1]) was an English silversmith.
Gamon was married to largeworker John Gamon[2] at St Stephen Walbrook on 28 May 1726;[1] with him she had two sons, William and John.[3] After her husband's death she registered a mark of her own on 6 March 1740, giving a London address in Staining Lane near Goldsmiths' Hall. Her classification was that of largeworker, like her husband.[2]
A George II creamer of 1743 by Gamon is owned by the National Museum of Women in the Arts,[2] while a punch ladle of 1740-41 is in the collection of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts.[4] During her career she also produced a number of pieces of communion plate.[5][6][7]
