William Hutton and Sons
was a prominent English silversmithing firm founded in Sheffield in 1800 by William Hutton. Known for producing both sterling silver and high quality silver plate, the company gained a strong reputation throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries. As the business expanded, it opened a London showroom and absorbed other makers, allowing it to offer a wide range of domestic and decorative wares. Their hallmarks—most often including W.H.&S or W.H.&S Ltd—are well-recognised by collectors today. The firm continued until 1930, when it was absorbed by James Dixon & Sons, leaving behind a legacy of practical and attractive silver still appreciated by buyers today.
Sterling Silver
is an alloy composed by weight of 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals, usually copper. The sterling silver standard has a minimum millesimal fineness (parts per thousand) of 925.
