Charles & Richard Comyns, was a very famous maker, one of the oldest and most prestigious British silversmiths whose hallmark name can be traced back to the early 17th century. This prestigious firm of manufacturing silversmiths was originally established by William Comyns in 1859 when he purchased the business of Robert Tagg, an outworker of Rundell, Bridge & Co.
The firm became William Comyns & sons in 1885 when sons Charles and Richard were admitted to the partnership. When William Comyns died in January 1916, the business became William Comyns & Sons ltd (Charles & Richard Comyns) in 1930, with Richard H. Comyns as permanent governing director. Always created fine quality and made silver for other retailers including Tiffany & Co. of New York. In 1953, the company was purchased by Bernard Copping and is now one of the few surviving manufacturing silversmiths in London.
