Mappin & Webb (England) precious objects

Mappin & Webb is a British company that was established in 1889, but its origins go back to 1775 when Jonathan Mappin opened a silver smithing workshop in Sheffield. The business passed down through generations until it was incorporated as Mappin Brothers Ltd by Jonathan's four great-grandsons. In 1859, William, the eldest brother, left the business and the youngest, John, started his own firm called Mappin & Company. In 1864, John's brother-in-law George Webb joined the business, and they renamed it Mappin, Webb & Co. and then Mappin & Webb Ltd in 1889.

Mappin Brothers Ltd remained with the middle two brothers who expanded the business, and it was eventually sold to John Mappin, who incorporated it into Mappin & Webb Ltd. In 1897, Mappin & Webb received their first Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria, and they launched their acclaimed Campaign watch the following year. more... The company expanded rapidly, with stores in twelve locations by 1910, including Johannesburg, Biarritz, Rome, Buenos Aires, and Cairo.
