Edgar Gorer (1872-1915) was born as Ezekiel Edgar Gorer in 1872 in Brighton, Sussex, England, United Kingdom. The order of his name would change when he entered business. Edgar was the son of Solomon Lewis Gorer (1842-1907). The senior Gorer was a one-time tobacconist, silversmith and jeweler. He was born into a Jewish family of Dutch and Russian ancestry. Edgar had an elder brother, Lewis and Sister Annie. The year previous to Edgar's birth, Solomon had became an "electro plater, wataer gilder, working silversmith, jeweller and gold and silver refiner", doing business at 113 Edgware Road in London. By 1889 Solomon opened a branch store on 433 the Strand as jewelers who specialized in artificial diamonds. The store ont eh Strand became the only store by 1895, and then Solomon moved his business again, this time to 59 New Bond Street. Now there were two buiness. Edgar was an ambitious young man with conssiderable business acumen. Solomon worked as a silversmith while Edgar was a dealer in East Asian art. A few short years later Edgar's bueiness, now the Indo-China Curio Trading Company, occupied both 58 and 59 New Bond Street. Solomon and Edgar moved to a new location again in 1899 to 170 New Bond Street. The following year 1900, the two buinesses were incorporataed as S. Gorer & Son, specializing in interior decoration and dealing in East Asian-mostly Chinese and Japanese arts. Edgar continued to grow his buiness and opened up a store in New York on Fifth Avenue. Michael Dreicer was the sole agent for Edgar in the US and Canada. Gorer, as the business became known, moved Edgar into the realm of an international dealer in Chinese Art, especially Chinese ceramics, boasting major clients in Britain and across the Atlantic. Edgar gained a reputation for buying up importand collections, such as that formed by Richard Bennett, Sir William Bennett, George R. Davies and Alfred Trapnell, and promoting them through exhibition and privately printed catalogues.
