Additional Information

George NATHAN & Ridley HAYES (Birmingham, 1889-1915) are particularly known for their fairly early Arts & Crafts interpretation of English silver, producing tea sets, boxes, bowls, baskets and desk sets.
They produced replicas, including of archaeological pieces, notably from Mycenae and Assyria. Some pieces from Nathan & Hayes are kept in the Victoria & Albert and in the British Museum, in London
