Huttons are a long established and very large scale producer, starting life in 1800 and it’s name is still trading today, although it was taken over in 1930 by James Dixon & Sons. Much of their early success was due to the licence granted to them by Elkington & Co. to use their recently invented electroplating process.

They are an example of a company who machine-made silver flatware in Sheffield and sent them to be hallmarked in London. Huttons are also renown for the quality of their arts and crafts silverware at the turn of the 19th/20th
