G.L. Connell Ltd. went into liquidation in April 1939. Their leased premises at 83, Cheapside, owned by the Mercers' Company, were returned to the landlords who accepted the surrender of the lease as from December 1939. Following a series of short-term tenancies, 83, Cheapside was taken over by the silversmiths Hicklenton & Phillips in March 1941.

CHICAGO
Art Craft Exhibition Opens at the Institute
The twelfth annual exhibition of art crafts opened last night with a reception at the Art institute.
The exhibition, while not unlike its predecessors, except in one department, offers the usual fine array of pottery, silver, jewels, small examples of embroidery, woven goods, lace work of various kinds, and work in leather, consisting of screens, book bindings, and other articles. No furniture is shown.
Exquisite jewels are too numerous to mention; perhaps the most original come from Albert Seror of Chicago, whose gold and silver bags are a rich surprise; and Mrs. J. H. Shaw of Duxbury, Mass., who has a marvelous necklace of gold, emeralds, and pearls, besides many other pieces. Julia E. Ferguson of Evanston shows a large collection of foreign jewelry, designed by Connell of London, Balliens of Copenhagen, Fahmer of Berlin and Anderson of Christiania.

CHRISTINE CONNELL
We illustrate a silver panel by Mrs. Connell, which exhibits a fanciful use of mother-of-pearl and enamel which is wholly effective and pleasing.

Mary Christine Connell was born in 1878, daughter of William George Connell who built up the family jewellery business on Cheapside. She was sister to George Laurence Connell who jointly ran the family business with her after their father’s death in 1902. Christine Connell was a well regarded art and metalwork teacher and arts and crafts silversmith and jeweller in her own right. She is sometimes confused as the wife of Laurence Connell who married a much younger Christine Green (born 1892) in 1917.
