About the Item

Set of 6 Silver and Tortoise Place Card Holders in the Original Box. They were retailed by Ryrie Jewelers. The holders are sterling silver and tortoise. The tortoise is framed in a sterling leaf border and inlaid with sterling silver medallions. Each are hallmarked by E.S. Barnsley & Co Ltd., Birmingham, and dated 1912/13. Ryrie's first location was opened at 113 Yonge Street, a small store on the east side of Yonge Street with a frontage of only 12 feet. These premises had been known as a jewelry store since 1854, but had more recently belonged to Segworth & Co., watchmaker and jeweler. James Ryrie had apprenticed with Segworth & Co., and had managed the store before taking over as owner in 1879. In 1904 the firm merged with Birks and in 1924 changed its name to Ryrie, Birks Limited. The silver is hallmarked by E.S. Barnsley & Co. Ltd. They were a silversmith company located in Birmingham, England and were active from 1895 to 1921. They were known for producing the highest-quality silver. Trent Antiques has been a respected name in antiques for over 35 years with a large collection of period furniture, art, books, jewelry and decorative accessories.
