j & r griffin silversmiths
AI description of silversmith
J & R Griffin was a British silversmith company founded in 1895 in Birmingham by brothers Joseph and Richard Griffin, which ceased trading in 1926. They produced a wide range of silverware, including personal, domestic, and table items, and are known for their pieces hallmarked in Chester, which was common for many Birmingham-based silversmiths at the time.
History: Founded in 1895, the firm was incorporated as a private limited company in 1902 and employed 240 people by 1914.
Products: They made various silverware, including napkin rings, scent bottles, and vesta cases.
Assay Office: While based in Birmingham, much of their work was sent to the Chester Assay Office for hallmarking, partly because it offered a faster turnaround than the Birmingham office.
Hallmarks: Their maker's mark is "J & R G" and their work can be identified by the Chester hallmarks, which include the lion passant (for sterling silver), the Chester assay mark (a sword and three wheatsheaves), and a date letter corresponding to the year of assay.
