Mikel Kačinari (1925-2002) opened his own studio, Zlatar-Filigran, at 17 Vetrinjska Street in 1956. In the 18th century, the house was owned by leatherworkers, harness makers and a master cabinetmaker, and later by the Müller, Neger and Hertiš families. Mikel Kačinari, a skilled goldsmith, had the furnishings for the sales area and the reception room for customers made to his own design in 1965. It has been preserved to this day. Kačinari worked mainly with silver in the filigree technique, but also made objects out of gold. Mikel's children - Angjel, Lina and Klara - also took up goldsmithing and, after their father's retirement in 1998, Klara took over the business, which she still runs today.

Goldsmithing and silversmithing are among the most highly valued arts and crafts, because the metals from which the products are made (gold, silver) are so precious. It is a distinctly urban craft. The first mention of a goldsmith in Maribor dates back to 1436. Goldsmiths and silversmiths were mainly involved in the manufacture and repair of church utensils and furnishings, but in the 19th century they increasingly turned to jewellery making.

The Kačinari silver shop displays furniture, utilitarian and decorative silver objects (trays, vases, snuffboxes, boxes, bowls, etc.) and jewellery made by Mikel, as well as more recent products made by his daughter Klara. Since 2015, an exhibition of the Maribor Regional Museum has been on display in Kačinari Silversmith's Shop. The workshop is included in the project CRAFT PATHS which is a guided tour of historical artisan workshops.
