FAQs

Charles Horner established a manufacturing business in Halifax, Yorkshire, during the late 19th century, becoming renowned for innovative silver jewellery and sewing accessories, particularly patented thimbles such as the Dorcas series.

These items were typically crafted from sterling silver using stamping, spinning, and hand-engraving techniques, often featuring intricate geometric or floral pierced patterns and dimpled crowns to grip needles.

Authentic pieces usually bear the makers mark CH within a shield or oval, alongside British silver hallmarks indicating the assay office, standard of silver, and date letter.

These collectable items look striking when displayed in glass-fronted cabinets, within shadow boxes, or curated alongside other small antiques on bookshelf ledges and mantelpieces.

Preservation requires storing items in a dry, tarnish-inhibiting environment and cleaning them infrequently with a soft, non-abrasive microfiber cloth to protect delicate hallmarks and engraved surfaces.
