George Nathan & Ridley Hayes

Chester, England 

Nathan & Hayes, or George Nathan & Ridley Hayes registered their sponsor's mark in Birmingham in 1897. With premesis in both Birmingham and Hatton Garden, this pair of expert silversmiths created a fantastic and varied output that is sought after by collectors to this day. Specialising in Arts & Crafts style silverware, and paying homage to their heritage with their interpretation of early silver, Nathan & Hayes registered with Birmingham and Chester assay offices.

Unique and substantial pices from Nathan & Hayes, as well as smaller, charming pieces of novelty silver sell particularly well at auction. Top prices have been achieved for unusual centrepieces, silver mounted coconut cups, enamelled photograph frames, epergnes, as well as the more typical pieces of the time such as tea sets, rose bowls, and twin handled trophies.
