These were the words of the founder. Mr. James Dixon, when thanking his workpeople for a Silver Epergne, presented to him on his seventieth birthday in 1842.
“ When I commenced business in 1806, it was with the determination : that nothing should go out of my hands, bearing my name, which could disgrace that name”.
For over 180 years James Dixon & Sons have been making beautiful cutlery, candlesticks, platters, entree dishes and others, you name it, that have adorned the well dressed tables, a symbol of good living for almost two centuries. Supplier to Garrard and Mappin & Webb etc.-


Silver is Eternal, the Silver Glow & Patina is agreeable to the Eye. Quality Silver & Sterling Silver are Heirloom, will be Enjoyed & Treasured from Generation to Generation. “.
The Story Behind These Magnificent & Exceptional Sheffield Plate Items is Fascinating :
Purchased directly from the Silver Manufactures in London, Sheffield & Birmingham-England in 1970's. They are in the original factory packaging, were at a storage in Greenwich, CT for almost forty (40) years.
They surfaced to the market when most of the manufacturers are now defunct!?
“ They Are Not Available Anywhere Else “
The same Items listed in Mappin & Webb & Garrard's The Crown Jewellers catalogs in the UK and M, the quality is considered a substitute to Sterling Silver, as you may read the second paragraph in the picture of their catalog :

 " Regent Plate incorporates the best of both traditional and modern techniques
of manufacture and is produced to highest standards.
"Regent Plate is therefore the recognized substitute for sterling silver." See less
