The Edward Viner Silver Factory<\/h4>\n

The origins of the Viner’s silver factory in Sheffield date back to 1908. Emile Viner, together with his brother Adolf, managed Viners Ltd (the spelling became established in the following years), one of the largest manufacturers of cutlery and silverware in England. However, the company did not limit itself to the manufacture of silverware, but also produced objects in pewter. Initially based in Broomhall Street, Sheffield, larger premises were soon required and production was moved to Bath Street in 1912. The company’s success also derived from its adaptability: during the First World War, for example, Viners Ltd produced mainly helmets and other war-related material, and production of silver was somewhat reduced. As Jewish immigrants, Adolf and Emile changed their name from Viener to Viner in November 1925. In 1930, George V granted the silver factory the privilege of being a supplier and silversmith to the English court.
\nIn 1932 there was a generational change in management and the silver hallmark of Viners Ltd was registered for the son and nephew Edward Viner. In 1957, Gerald Benney, one of the most important British designers of the post-war period, was appointed head of the design department. In the 1960s and 70s, David Queensbury and Stuart Devlin created successful designs for Viners. In 2014, Viners Ltd was bought by the Rayware Group, for whom it still produces mainly cutlery.<\/p>\n
