Engraving - How We Make Your Mark
One of the things that makes a personalised piece of silver, that little bit special, is engraving. Specifically, hand engraving, which is not to be confused with etching, engine turning or chasing which is a way of hand finishing textures like feathers, fur or other organic finishes. Engraving is something quite different and special in it’s own right.
Flight Without Wings
"I create thee, Oh Arabian. To thy forelock, I bind Victory in battle. On thy back, I set a rich spoil and a Treasure in thy loins. I establish thee as one of the Glories of the Earth... I give thee flight without wings." This wonderful poetry, from the Bedouin creation stories, is just one of the many tales of how the legendary Arabian horse breed came into existence.
The Dragons of old London
From chains of office to ceremonial regalia and tableware, we are well versed with the Heraldic Law. And one heraldic beast that features regularly in our work is the mythical dragon, associated with London since the 14th Century. But have you ever wondered why?
Celebrating London Craft Week with ‘The Call of the Wild.’
There’s something uniquely evocative about the words 'The Call of the Wild' that conjures images of the Alaskan frontier, of the Yukon Gold Rush and adventures in the dangerous frozen wilderness of North America. With lumberjacks, endless pine forests, gold prospectors and of course that most iconic native creature, the mighty grizzly bear. So when we created our own masterwork of such an epic creature and its natural setting, we knew what we had to call it.
The Peak of Elegance
For over forty years we have worked closely with our customers in the Middle East to produce masterpieces that represent and tell the story of their remarkable history and culture. One iconic animal from the region is the majestic Arabian Falcon, revered in Arabic culture, its symbolism dates back into distant antiquity and the earliest civilisations of Mesopotamia and Babylonia.
