Atkin Brothers silversmithy<\/h4>\n

Henry Atkin founded his silversmithy in 1845 in Howard Street, Sheffield, which existed until 1851. Around 1853 Harry Wright Atkin reopened the silversmithy in Matilda Street, Sheffield which existed until 1958 when it was bought by C. J. Vander Ltd.
\nThe silversmithy mainly produced tableware and cutlery and was known for its high-quality, handcrafted objects. Atkin Brothers became particularly well known in the second half of the 19th century for their artistically high-quality silverware in the Aesthetic Style, of which, however, only a small quantity was produced for economical reasons.<\/p>\n
