Mappin & Webb Cigar Boxes and Humidors

British

Appointed the Crown Jeweler in 2012, Mappin & Webb is one of the most widely recognized makers of silver and luxury goods in the world. With a roster of prestigious clients that has included six British monarchs as well as Charles Dickens, Winston Churchill and Harry Houdini, the historic firm has supplied fine jewelry and silver objects for royalty all over the globe including the Russian Imperial Household, the Siamese royal family and the Indian Maharaja.

Mappin & Webb’s origins are rooted in Jonathan Mappin’s workshop in Sheffield. He opened in 1775 with the intent to serve British society with the highest quality silverware ever made. His son and grandson, both named Joseph, carried on his vision until the mid-19th century when his four great-grandsons incorporated the business into Mappin Brothers Ltd. and embarked on a substantial expansion of the firm.

Nearing 1860, two of the great-grandsons, eldest Sir William Mappin and youngest John Mappin, left to pursue other opportunities. John opened his own business, Mappin & Company, and was joined two years later by his brother-in-law George Webb. Webb passed away in 1868 — the same year that saw the family form Mappin & Webb Co.

Webb’s name lived on in the company even after 1889 when the company became Mappin & Webb Ltd. In 1897, Mappin & Webb were granted their first Royal Warrant as silversmiths to Queen Victoria. The firm has been a holder of Royal Warrants since then.

Mappin & Webb supplied soldiers in the battle of Omdurman with their acclaimed Campaign watch. The company also supported wartime efforts during both World Wars in their enormous factory in Sheffield. Today Mappin & Webb is among the most prominent makers of Sheffield silver in the world.

Watches of Switzerland Operations Ltd. acquired Mappin & Webb in 1998 after a series of mergers and acquisitions.

The vanity box is of rectangular form extensively veneered in exotic coromandel and edged throughout with brass, incorporating double brass stringing to both the lid and front with a raised escutcheon to the centre.

Questions About Mappin & Webb Cigar Boxes and Humidors
  • 1stDibs ExpertDecember 5, 2024
    Whether Mappin & Webb makes watches has evolved over time. In the late 19th century, Mappin & Webb began producing a line of timepieces. The company even supplied soldiers in the 1898 Battle of Omdurman with its acclaimed Campaign watch. After World War II, the luxury silversmith gradually phased out its watch production. Today, the company is an authorized dealer for numerous luxury watchmakers and sells these companies' timepieces in its stores. Find a variety of Mappin & Webb jewelry on 1stDibs.

    The answer to the question of when did Watches of Switzerland buy Mappin & Webb may be a bit surprising, as it's a misconception that the latter company purchased the former. By the 1990s, the company Asprey owned both Mappin & Webb and Watches of Switzerland. In 1998, Judith Pilkington arranged for the sale of both Mappin & Webb and Watches of Switzerland, starting a new organization. Subsequently, the two brands went through a series of owners, including the Baugur Group, Landsbanki and Apollo Global Management. On 1stDibs, find a large collection of watches.
