Two hundred and fifty years, one address book.
Jonathan Mappin registered his silver mark in Sheffield in 1775. His great-grandson John Newton Mappin and George Webb joined names in 1862 and opened on Oxford Street, then Regent Street, where the house has been since 1908. The Sheffield factory supplied cutlery and silver to railway companies, ocean liners and most of the capital's hotels.
Royal Warrants followed from Queen Victoria onwards. Since 2012 the Crown Jeweller, who looks after the Crown Jewels at the Tower of London and prepares them for state occasions, has been a Mappin & Webb silversmith.
Today there are twenty showrooms, a workshop that still resizes and repairs by hand, and a bespoke salon on Regent Street. The silver still comes from Sheffield.

Four things behind the name.
A name that has been on silver since 1775 has to mean something specific. These are the four things we will put in writing with every piece, and the marks you will find if you look.
Royal Warrant
Silversmiths and jewellers to the Royal Household. The Crown Jeweller, who cares for the Crown Jewels, has been one of ours since 2012.
Traced origin
Every diamond over 0.30ct is tracked from one of four named mining countries to the finished ring, and the paperwork comes in the box.
GIA certified
Graded by the Gemological Institute of America, with the report number laser-inscribed on the girdle so you can check it yourself.
Our own workshop
Resizing, re-tipping and polishing done by our own goldsmiths. Watches serviced by brand-accredited watchmakers with a two-year guarantee.
