The Briddon Brothers were active in Sheffield from the 1860s through the early 20th century, producing both sterling and electroplated silverware. Their decorative pieces, often featuring floral repoussé and classical motifs, were well-regarded for their craftsmanship and form, standing alongside contemporaries such as Walker & Hall and James Dixon & Sons in quality and design.
