Hello, Can anyone help me in finding information on 19th century British silversmith Barret Henry Joseph. I am particularly interested in dates he worked and type of products he was specialized. IP: Logged |

There is lots about him in: The Directory of Gold & Silversmiths, Jewellers and Allied Traders 1838-1914 by John Culme, published by The Antique Collector's Club. He and his brother (Henry) started in 1865 at 20 Frederick Street, Birmingham... Henry retired 1869 and was succeeded by his brother Joseph. BHJ&Co. opened a rretail shop at Ely House, Charterhouse St. in London in 1878.. by 1889 they employed 250 workmen... This important firm continued and became Payton, Pepper & Co. Ltd. in 1929 IP: Logged |

Thank you Silver Lyon, but sorry, I cannot well understand. You say: "He and his brother (Henry)started in 1865" and then "Henry retired 1869 and was succeeded by his brother Joseph". Who do you mean by "he"? Is Henry Joseph Barret one single person or is it Henry Barret and Joseph Barret? In which case "he" is: Joseph. Pls clarify. Thank you again for putting your time.
