Thomas Bradbury & Sons was a Sheffield based company and one of the most prominent manufacturers of silverware items and Old Sheffield plate in the 19th century. They were known for their high quality craftsmanship and attention to detail. The family run business was established by Thomas Bradbury in 1793. In the early days they were mainly producing Old Sheffield plate items, and later branched into silverware. The company was converted to a limited liability company in 1905 and continued in business until 1943 when its dies and tooling were purchased by Atkin Brothers.
