Oomersi Mawji became the most celebrated Indian silversmith during the Raj period. He participated in major international exhibitions and became the court silversmith to the Maharaja of Cutch.The interest in Cutch designs subsequently flourished in London and many pieces were commissioned by companies such as the London stores Liberty & Co. and Proctor & Co.
Mawji founded Oomersi Mawji & Co. in 1860, and although the firm ceased operation in the 1930s, it produced many stunning pieces, a number of which are now displayed in many of the most important museums and private collections around the world.
