Maker Information
Maker: Cartwright‚ Hirons & Woodward
Cartwright, Hirons and Woodward, a Birmingham partnership established c. 1850 by George Cartwright and Joseph Hirons, trading as Cartwright & Hirons changing to Cartwright, Hirons & Woodward in 1853 when Horace Woodward became partner. In 1859 Joseph Hirons left the partnership and the firm changed its name to Cartwright & Woodward. In 1865, after George Cartwright's retirement, the business continued as Horace Woodward & Co. When Horace Woodward left the company in 1883 the business was continued by Edgar Finley and Hugh Taylor, maintaining the same name until 1893 when the firm became the limited company Horace Woodward & Co Ltd. In 1919 the firm was acquired by Adie Brothers Ltd. The firm used a figural trade mark (the shape of Atlas into a lozenge) registered in 1876. This trade mark was often used in its electroplate production. The same trade mark was rarely present in its sterling silver production.
