In 1870, Willaim Hair Haseler founded the company, W. H. Haseler & Co, specialising in gold and silver work. Five years later, Arthur Lasenby Liberty started a small shop on the corner of Regent Street in London. Specialising in exotic goods from Japan and the Far East, his business thrived and he became the leading merchant Liberty. During the 1890s, Liberty formed relationships with many leading English designers. In 1898, Liberty and Haseler created a formal partnership to launch the Cymric silver line under the title “Liberty and Co. (Cymric) Ltd.” using free lance designers. One of those designers, Archibald Knox, began designing for Liberty in 1899. He focused on the new Celtic design work for the Cymric range. Haseler was responsible for making many of Knox’s designs.
