Biography

This large retail jewellery and silversmith business was founded in 1880 at 112 Regent Street. The original partners were William Gibson and John Lawrence Langman. After the absorption in 1893 of Goldsmiths' Alliance Ltd, Goldsmiths & Silversmiths Co was transformed into a limited liability company. In 1952, the company merged with Garrard & Co.
