Finley & Taylor

The firm was established in Birmingham c. 1850 by George Cartwright and Joseph Hirons, trading as Cartwright & Hirons. In 1853, when Horace Woodward entered the partnership, the firm changed to Cartwright, Hirons & Woodward. The firm was active as electroplate manufacturers and silversmiths at 138/139 Great Charles Street, Birmingham, with London showrooms at 41 Hatton Garden. In 1859, Joseph Hirons left the partnership and the firm changed its name to Cartwright & Woodward. In 1865, after George Cartwright's retirement, the business was continued by Horace Woodward under the name Horace Woodward & Co. In 1883, Horace Woodward left the company and the business was continued by Edgar Finley and Hugh Taylor, maintaining the same name until 1893 when the firm was converted into a limited liability company as Horace Woodward & Co Ltd. In the same year, the production was transferred to Atlas Works, Paradise Street, Birmingham and additional premised were opened in 1903 at Vyse Street, Birmingham. In 1919, the firm was acquired by Adie Brothers Ltd. The firm participated with success to London (1851 and 1862), Paris (1867) and Melbourne (1881) Exhibitions.

Victorian entree dishes became popular during the 19th century as multi-course formal dining grew in prominence among the upper classes, requiring specialized vessels to keep dishes warm at the table or sideboard.

These pieces were typically crafted from sterling silver or high-grade silver plate, utilizing techniques such as hand-raising, spinning, and applied cast decoration like bead borders and ornate handles.

Authenticity is verified by examining maker marks, date letters, and silver purity hallmarks stamped into the metal, as well as checking for hand-engraved crests and traditional construction methods.

They can be integrated into contemporary spaces by displaying them polished on a sideboard, using them as decorative centrepieces on a dining table, or incorporating them into curated tablescapes.

Preservation involves regular dusting, periodic gentle cleaning with specialized silver polish to remove tarnish, and storing items in tarnish-resistant cloth in a temperature-controlled environment.
