Frederick James Mole was born in England in 1879. He apprenticed as a silversmith in London before emigrating to Australia in 1909. In 1913, he founded F. J. Mole & Co. in Brisbane a silversmith company. The company specialises in the production of high-quality silver ware, including flatware, hollow ware, and trophies. The company quickly became one of the leading silversmiths in Australia. Mole's designs were simple and elegant, and his work was known for its high quality. The company's custom made silver trophies and other products were often commissioned by businesses and organizations, and their ware were also sold to private customers. Although no longer in the family's ownership, F. J. Mole & Co. continues to operate.
