LUIGI BALERNA

Halifax


Mr. Sirrell underwent another examination, at the Mansionhouse, on Tuesday, on charges of knowingly purchasing stolen goods. Mr. Henry Golden, of Maidstone, identified three silver pepper-castors found at Sirrell’ s : they were stolen from his house by burglars, on the 25th September. More evidence was given about the silver spoon stolen from the Rainbow Tavern in the beginning of August. Mr. Brockleby swore that a gold watch found in the stock was lost by him at Epsom races, on the 22d of May : the watch was taken from the guard in a very unaccountable manner, but there seemed little doubt that it was stolen, and not lost by Mr. Brockleby. A friend also identified this article. Mr. Luigi Balerna, of Halifax, a jeweller, had his premises plundered on the night of the 13th July ; a great number of articles were taken, among them an old pair of gold spectacles : he swore that a pair found at Sirrell’ s were these ; he had worn them himself ; there were peculiarities about them. Miss Emily Coates recognized a mourning-ring as having belonged to her sister : it was missed about a year ago. In the course of a cross-examination, Inspector Lund stated the amount of the seizure at Mr. Sirrell’ s. “I have the list of the property which is removed from the prisoner’s premises. There are, I should say, a thousand spoons, some hundreds of watch movements, perhaps thirty watches, and between sixty and seventy rings. There were, I should say, twelve or fourteen mourning-rings. We have had, I dare say, a hundred or two inquiries about the goods. The value of the property we took may be between 3000l. and 4000l. I have heard that Mr. Sirrell has carried on business these thirty or forty years.” The accused was again remanded, on bail.

Z. BARRACLOUGH & SONS

54, Briggate, and Commercial Street, Leeds


Z. BARRACLOUGH AND SONS, GOLDSMITHS, SILVERSMITHS, DIAMOND MERCHANTS, WATCH AND CLOCK MANUFACTURERS, SILVER CUTLERS.
Established 1805.
Commercial Street and Briggate.


Image

For nearly a century the position at the junction of Briggate and Commercial Street has been occupied by a high-class goldsmith’s business, and it is perhaps one of the best known business corners in Yorkshire. In the large range of windows, and inside are always to be seen an immense, stock of artistic, and in many cases, rare specimens of the goldsmith’s art, in addition to some of the choicest gems, and finest examples of horology. From what we have seen and heard of this house, we should say that it is the best establishment that intending purchasers can possibly visit, as they will receive every attention and consideration from the proprietors, and, at the same time, have the full benefit of their experience and knowledge of the various branches of the business. In addition to their already large stock, there are always prepared to submit designs, and make anything specially adapted to the wants of their numerous connection. In this department, they have executed some very special pieces of plate for presentation purposes, such as large trays, dessert services, dinner services, large bowls, tea and coffee services, etc. One of the last things they produced was the silver cradle, which was very generally admired, presented to Alderman and Mrs. Boothroyd (the Mayor and Mayoress), to commemorate the birth of their daughter during his Worship’s year of office.

Some of the specimens of chasing and engraving shown to us were really perfect examples of the silversmith’s craft. The fashion of giving wedding presents has very much to do with the development of this branch of the business, and from the stock here displayed, we think no one could experience any difficulty in making an appropriate selection. Even the cases in which these goods are frequently sent are worthy of note. Their style and quality we have never seen surpassed.

In the purchase of diamonds and other gems, it is wise to have the advice of a competent jeweller who has made them a special study, to ensure getting something that will be satisfactory and always looked upon with pleasure. The gems here are mostly purchased direct, and specially mounted to designs of Messrs. Z. Barraclough and Sons, who, we may add, are licensed valuers. We were shown some very fine specimens, both mounted and loose, and specially admired the profusion of fine rings, pendants, brooches, bracelets, etc. Their stock of adjusted watches, some of which have taken very high awards at Kew Observatory, is all that could be desired. Clocks of every description, from the small carriage clocks to the large English chiming clocks suitable for the hall, or dining-room, are here in good array also. Table cutlery of every description, which has all been specially manufactured, so that it can be thoroughly relied on. Choice ivory hair-brushes, cloth and velvet brushes and mirrors, toilet boxes, etc., silver and ivory fitted dressing bags, and fine leather goods are largely dealt in.

In workshops specially adapted to their particular business are carried on repairing in all its branches, engraving, etc. In conclusion, we would add that every detail of the business is under the personal supervision of the proprietors, Mr. James and Mr. Herbert Barraclough, who deal only in the highest class of goods, and by their energy and taste have rendered their business one of the most attractive in Leeds.

ANTHONY KREUTZ

57, North Parade, Bradford


A. KREUTZ, WATCH AND CLOCK MAKER AND JEWELLER, 57, NORTH PARADE, BRADFORD

This business was established in 1879 by Messrs. Fehrenbach & Howry, and was taken over by the present proprietor in 1881. The premises are situated in one of the most improving business positions in Bradford, opposite the Boys’ Grammar School. They comprise a handsome sale-shop attractively fitted up and conveniently arranged. The stock is very comprehensive as well as large, including gold and silver watches in various styles for ladies and gentlemen, timepieces and clocks, gem and other rings, wedding rings, bangles, bracelets, brooches, pins and trinkets of every description; also opticians’ goods. All are of thoroughly reliable quality, and are offered at exceptionally moderate prices. The establishment has a reputation throughout the district for the excellent value procurable there, and it has become a popular emporium for the purchase of articles suitable for presents. Watches are a speciality, for the proprietor is a practical watchmaker, and is in a position to supply highly finished timekeepers of guaranteed accuracy, made on the most improved principles and highly finished at prices which are bound to attract attention. Mr. Kreutz also undertakes repairs of every description and executes them in the most satisfactory manner on the shortest notice. He also has a good connection as regards repairing and regulating clocks amongst private families in the best neighbourhoods of Bradford. Mr. Kreutz employs efficient assistants; but personally manages both the practical and the sale departments, and, thanks to the popular lines upon which it has been conducted by Mr. Kreutz, it has steadily developed and is still thriving at a satisfactory rate. He has from the first displayed conspicuous ability, enterprise, and integrity, and the esteem in which he is held is shown by the patronage he enjoys.

JAMES CAPE HESELTON

Market Place, Beverley


JAMES C. HESELTON, GOLDSMITH, JEWELLER, AND WATCHMAKER, MARKET PLACE, BEVERLEY

One of the oldest and best-known business concerns in Beverley is the attractive establishment conducted by Mr. James C. Heselton. The history of this important business dates back to its establishment in 1821 by Mr. Robert Walker, who continued the control for many years, and was succeeded by Mr. Charles James Fox, from whom the concern was acquired by the above-named gentleman in 1859. The premises occupied by Mr. Heselton are centrally situated in the Market Place, one of the most prominent business positions in the town, and comprise commodious shop with imposing frontage and handsomely appointed interior, combining every convenience for the tastefully displayed stock and the work of the sale departments. The fine plate-glass window forms a specially attractive feature of the arrangements, as with its large and varied assortment of beautiful and valuable articles it gives substantial indication of the high-class character of the business.

The stock is widely varied in each department, and includes a splendid assortment of ladies’ and gentlemen’s gold and silver watches and chronometers; gem and gold jewellery; wedding, fancy dress and mourning rings; costly gold, silver and electro-plate goods in elegant and artistic designs; marble, ormolu, and bronze clocks and timepieces, and an infinite variety of valuable articles of a useful and ornamental character suitable for presentation, prizes, &c. Special attention is directed by the proprietor to the repairing department, in which the services of thoroughly competent and trustworthy hands only are employed, orders for watch, dock, and jewellery repairs being completed with the utmost promptitude.

An extensive and influential trade has been in active operation at this establishment for many years past, and under the energetic and enterprising management of its present proprietor this fine old concern well maintains its prestige for the superior excellence of its goods, and the efficiency and completeness with which each department is carried out.

The important trades of jewellery, watchmaking, and electro-plating are well represented in this district by the above firm, which was established by its present proprietors in 1887 at Queensgate Chambers, and was a couple of years later transferred to the present address. The premises are capitally adapted to the business, and comprise a large and well-lighted workshop on the ground floor. Both partners having a thorough practical acquaintance with every detail of their occupation in all its branches, and having further the advantage of great experience, it goes without saying that the work produced by the staff of skilled workmen employed in their establishment affords unfailing satisfaction to all with whom they do business. One of their specialities is adapting and modelling antique jewellery to the present fashion, which they do with great taste. Their stock of loose diamonds, real and imitation stones, for manufacturing purposes, is large, and by tasteful arrangement are laid out to great advantage. Brooches, earrings, rings, and pins suitable for wedding and birthday presents can be mounted on the premises from stones in stock which may be selected by the purchaser. For these goods the firm find a large and growing demand. In the practical department, prominence is given to electro-plating and gilding, in which work Messrs. Moxon & Reams have an enviable trade connection, as well as a large amount of private business. The workmanship of the firm is of high artistic merit, and no effort is spared to secure punctuality. In all their transactions the proprietors are noted for enterprise and intelligence.

T.G.P. BARLOW

147, Gowthorpe Street, Selby


T. G. P. BARLOW, WATCHMAKER, JEWELLER, SILVERSMITH, OPTICIAN,&C., 147, GOWTHORPE STREET, SELBY

The highest development of the watchmaking and jewellery trade is very ably represented in Selby by the eminent establishment of Mr. T. G. P. Barlow. This well-known business is the oldest as well as the most important in the town. It was established in 1816, and passed through several hands previous to 1878, when it was acquired by Mr. Barlow, under whose able and enterprising management it has been materially developed, while its pristine reputation has been more than sustained. Centrally situated in one of the most important business thoroughfares of the town, the premises comprise an exceedingly handsome shop, the interior of which is magnificently appointed, being admirably adapted, in every particular, to the requirements of the extensive high-class trade in operation. A very large, valuable, and carefully selected stock is held, embracing gold and silver watches of the best English and Continental manufacture, clocks, mounted in various artistic designs, a splendid assortment of diamond rings and other jewellery, in all the newest patterns; and a very valuable collection of silver and electro-plate from leading London, Birmingham, and Sheffield factories.

Mr. Barlow has always on hand a choice selection of goods, suitable for wedding and other presents, and makes a speciality of athletic prizes, clubs being supplied at “inside” prices. In the operative department a number of expert watchmakers and jewellers are employed, and the watches sold by Mr. Barlow have obtained first-class awards, at leading exhibitions, for the excellence of workmanship and material displayed. Special attention is given to repairs of all descriptions, and the most delicate pieces of mechanism may be entrusted to the firm with perfect confidence. Mr. Barlow does not profess to do a “cutting” trade; yet his prices will be found to compare very favourably with those of any other house of similar standing in the country. The establishment has for many years possessed a very widespread and influential connection, which Mr. Barlow’s excellent management has done much to extend.
