The Atkin Brothers were a Sheffield silversmithing firm that was founded in 1824 by Henry Atkin and Thomas Oxley. The firm was originally known as Atkin, Oxley & Co., but it was renamed Atkin Brothers in 1853 after Henry Atkin's death. They were one of the leading silversmithing firms in Sheffield during the 19th century. The firm produced a wide range of silver objects, including flatware, hollowware, and jewellery. They embraced technological advancements, such as electroplating, which allowed them to create silver-plated wares that were more accessible to a broader audience.

Atkin Brothers was also known for its innovative designs, and the firm won several awards for its work at the Great Exhibition of 1851and the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1855, where their exceptional creations garnered critical acclaim

The firm continued to be successful in the early 20th century and continued its operation under various names and ownerships, more...
