In 1896, although still working as ‘something in the City’, he had two assistants, who helped him produce his metalwork and by 1901 was working full-time as a silversmith. His work, in silver and pewter, hammered with tools from both the front and the back to create raised decoration, was praised for its handmade qualities. Most of his pieces were in a naturalistic style, incorporating plants or animals. His obituary in The Burlington Magazine referred to his insistence ‘that the smith must be at once the designer, the artist, and craftsman. Marks would have no dies, no machinery, no repetitions.’ His early death resulted in his significant contributions to the Arts and Crafts movement being overlooked.referenceterm-109008adlib-term-109008841b18bd-944d-3c9c-8d39-bdaabbcc28e120th Century, Earlyreferenceterm-120127adlib-term-120127ee2ddbd4-503c-30f5-8cf9-3c2d121bd315Victoria Ireferenceterm-106216adlib-term-106216825b8379-ec94-388e-9a59-624e40c090d0literalEnglandEnglandcountryLondonreferenceterm-40400adlib-term-404004caf8646-1108-3ae6-85a0-c0a4797f9f10pewterDiametercm11.7Heightcm1.8referencemedia-206723adlib-media-206723b71eb6a3-ea27-3731-9698-05ddb668bd08jpegaa/aa37/large_M_66_1984_1_201708_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels965widthpixels102416162740173891imagejpegaa/aa37/mid_M_66_1984_1_201708_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels471widthpixels50016162740173891imagejpegaa/aa37/M_66_1984_1_201708_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels966widthpixels102516162740173891imagejpegaa/aa37/preview_M_66_1984_1_201708_amt49_dc2.jpg1heightpixels236widthpixels25016162740173891image0media
