Brief Maker History: Charles Horner (1853–1896) founded his Halifax-based jewellery and silverware company in the late 19th century. The firm became renowned for its innovative designs, particularly enamel and silver pieces from the Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods. Horner’s work remains highly collectible, especially pieces bearing the Chester hallmark, as the assay office closed in 1962.
