Edward Barnard & Sons Ltd

London 

Edward Barnard and Sons was a distinguished British silversmith firm with roots dating back to around 1680. Initially founded by silversmith Anthony Nelme, the company went through several ownership transitions before becoming Edward Barnard & Sons in 1829, under the leadership of Edward Barnard. Known for producing exceptional quality silverware, the firm became renowned for crafting the "Lily Font," a grand silver gilt baptismal font commissioned by Queen Victoria for the christening of her first child in 1840. Over the years, the company moved locations within London, eventually becoming a subsidiary of Padgett & Braham in 1977. Edward Barnard & Sons Ltd continued to operate until its closure in 2003, leaving behind a legacy of fine craftsmanship in the silversmithing industry.
