Object statement
Pendant and necklace, silver gilt / enamel / rubies / gold, Child & Child, London, England, c. 1900
Child & Child was a London based jewellery, gold and silversmith firm operating from 1880-1916. Established by brothers Walter (1840-1930) and Harold (1848-1915), Child & Child became well known for its Art Nouveau jewellery and attracted the Royal patronage of Queen Victoria and Kind Edward VII, amongst others. In 1899 the partnership ended, however Harold Child continued trading under the same name until his death in 1915. The original location for the business was in Seville Street, Knightsbridge, London, but from 1891 until 1916 the company was located at 35 Alfred Place, Kensington, London.
