William Comyns opened his renowned silversmiths business in 1859 and slowly began to develop a substantial business working together with his sons. The core of his success came from producing decorative die stamped tableware and then later the company became noted for their interpretive works of important historical makers such as Paul de Lampiere. After William died in 1916 the firm continued operation until they sold to Bernhard Copping in 1953.
