Active in their role as Sheffield goldsmiths, they will be counted amongst the first to register their mark at Sheffield's Assay Office in 1773.<br \/>\nIn 1789 FENTON abandons the company being replaced by Edward OAKES, hence forcing a name change to FENTON, CRESWICK, OAKES & Co. In 1795 the society is dissolved, although the firm continues trading under the name WATSON & Co, having as partners Thomas WATSON, James FENTON and Thomas BRADBURY I, (a former company apprentice).<br \/>\nLater, Thomas BRADBURY II, Thomas BRADBURY I's son, and William WATSON, Thomas WATSON's nephew, will also become partners.<br \/>\nWilliam WATSON retires in 1831, the company being retaken by Thomas BRADBURY I and II, under the name Thomas BRADBURY & Son. The firm is then registered at Arundel Street, Sheffield, with a showroom in London at 12 Gough Street, near Fleet Street.<br \/>\nIn 1855 it assumes the denomination Thomas BRADBURY & Sons, being owned by Joseph and Edward BRADBURY, both sons of Thomas BRADBURY II.<br \/>\nIn 1877, it is managed by Thomas BRADBURY III, Joseph BRADBURY's brother and by John Sutherland HENDERSON.<br \/>\nThe society is dissolved in 1888 but the company is once again retaken by Walton Turner BRADBURY, Joseph BRADBURY Jr and Frederick BRADBURY, Joseph BRADBURY Sr's sons, Frederick BRADBURY being the author of the well-known book \"A History of Old Sheffield Plate\".<br \/>\nThe company becomes a Limited Responsibility Society in 1905, under the name Thomas BRADBURY & Sons Ltd.<br \/>\nIn 1943 both the matrixes and the machinery are acquired by goldsmiths ATKIN BROTHERS, hence ceasing the firms activity.<br \/>\nThe Thomas BRADBURY & Sons catalogues are kept at the City of Sheffield Archives and in the  Sheffield Industrial Museums Trust of the National Museum of American History in Washington.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nMUSEUMS, PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS AND LISTED OBJECTS<br \/>\n\u2022 VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON, Wine jug, silver, Sheffield, 1857-1858.<br \/>\n\u2022 VICTORIA & ALBERT MUSEUM, LONDON, Bowl, silver, Sheffield, 1934-1935."}],"tags":"Silver","gallery":[{"image":{"ID":249054,"id":249054,"title":"120_450","filename":"450.jpg","filesize":12887649,"url":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","link":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/lot\/base-de-garrafa-527293624\/120_450\/","alt":"","author":"44","description":"","caption":"","name":"120_450","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":247290,"date":"2022-11-15 21:45:33","modified":"2022-11-15 21:45:35","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":5280,"height":4450,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":253,"medium_large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":647,"large":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":863,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1295,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1726,"v_medium":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450-640x539.jpg","v_medium-width":640,"v_medium-height":539,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":253,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":337,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/450.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":506}},"is_video":false,"video_source":"","video_id":"","use_video_thumbnail":true}],"auction_session":"2"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot\/247291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lot"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lot"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249054"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=247291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/veritas.art\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=247291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
