founded in 1774 by Jonathan Mappin, Mappin & Webb is one of the UK's leading retailers of fine jewellery and silverware. Today, it is renowned for combining timeless craftsmanship with superior quality and contemporary design to produce exquisite jewellery, elegant silverware, watches and glassware.

Jonathan Mappin opened his first small silversmith workshop in Sheffield in 1774 and the following year the Mappin mark was entered at the assay office. Over the next fifteen years Jonathan Mappin's reputation for producing high quality silver spread throughout Sheffield. From these humble beginnings the business grew steadily and soon the next generation were expanding the business further

The first store was opened in London in 1849 at 17 Fore Street and was soon followed by stores in Moorgate and King William Street. In 1858, following rapid expansion of the Sheffield factory, John Newton Mappin invited his brother-in-law, George Webb to join him in the business. The first association of Mappin & Webb was forged.

FAQs

Victorian serving trays often feature ornate ornamentation, detailed chased or engraved motifs, and classical influences that reflect the craftsmanship of the late 19th century.

These pieces are typically constructed from a base metal such as copper or nickel silver, which is then electroplated with a layer of silver and finished with hand-engraved details.

Authentic pieces often bear period maker marks, specific hallmarks or stampings indicating the plating method, and exhibit natural signs of age such as minor surface wear and subtle oxidisation.

An antique tray can be styled as a functional centrepiece on a coffee table or sideboard, used to display glassware, candles, or small decorative objects.

Silver plate should be cleaned gently using a non-abrasive silver polish and a soft cloth to maintain the finish without wearing away the underlying plating layer.
