Designed by Keith Murray for Mappin & Webb. Keith Murray (1892-1981) was born in New Zealand and moved to the UK with his parents when he was 14.
He trained as an architect and worked as an illustrator before becoming a designer. During the 1930’s he produced designs in glass for Stevens & Williams, ceramic for Wedgwood and for silver manufacturers Mappin and Webb. His designs are now much sort after. Following the second world war, he returned to his career as an architect.

Renowned for combining timeless craftsmanship with superior quality and contemporary design, we have produced exquisite fine jewellery, elegant silverware, watches, glassware and the unique lifestyle accessories that have long been at the heart of affluent British society.
It’s a story that began in 1775, when Jonathan Mappin opened a workshop in Sheffield. His mission was to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for British society.
Over the immediate years that followed this would see the company expand internationally, receive Royal Warrants and commissions from Monarchs around the world, and become synonymous with excellence, craftsmanship and all things truly British.
