Colen Hewer Cheshire
was a Birmingham silversmith known for producing a wide range of personal and domestic silver goods from the late nineteenth century onwards.
Working from Northampton Street and first registered in November 1894, the firm became recognised for its finely made accessories and small luxury items.
Cheshire’s output included boxes, tea caddies, cigarette cases, sovereign cases, vesta cases, vinaigrettes, travelling communion sets, napkin rings, card cases, spectacle cases, flasks, note pads, pepperettes, spoons and dressing table pieces such as brushes and combs. These items were typically crafted in silver or silver plate and are now appreciated for their quality, variety and classic Birmingham craftsmanship.
