Jonathan Mappin opened a workshop in Sheffield, England in 1775. His mission was to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for British society.

The years that followed saw the company expand internationally, receiving Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and becoming synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things undeniably British.

The company continued to trade throughout both World Wars and its acclaimed Campaign watch, supplied to the Admiralty in 1914, played an integral role in the brand’s widespread popularisation during this time.

Mappin & Webb has been silversmiths to the United Kingdom’s sovereigns since 1897. Today we continue as Jewellers, Goldsmiths, and Silversmiths, to His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla. See less
