Charles Horner established a manufacturing business in Halifax, Yorkshire, in the late 19th century, becoming renowned for his distinctive silver and enamel hatpins, thimbles, and brooches created in the Arts and Crafts and Art Nouveau styles.

Authentic pieces are typically crafted from sterling silver, often set with semi-precious stones such as citrines, and bear traditional British hallmarks including the makers mark CH alongside assay office symbols like the Chester hallmark.

Authenticity is verified by checking for the distinct stamped makers mark, legible date letters corresponding to specific assay office hallmarks, and construction characteristics typical of early 20th-century metalworking techniques.

These versatile accessories can be pinned to coat lapels, silk scarves, knitwear, or fabric bags to add a touch of historical craftsmanship and individuality to contemporary outfits.

Preserve the piece by storing it in a dry, tarnish-resistant pouch away from direct sunlight, and gently clean the silver using a specialist microfibre cloth while avoiding harsh chemical dips that could damage the stone setting.
