Five generations, one bench.
Edith Fenwray and Samuel Holt opened a silversmith's bench on Larkspur Street in Birmingham's Jewellery Quarter in 1891, making christening cups, cufflinks and table silver for shops across the Midlands. Their FH mark was first struck at the Birmingham Assay Office that year.
In 1926 the house opened its own showroom on Cressingham Street in London, and began to sell diamonds and Swiss watches alongside the silver. The Birmingham bench never closed; it still makes and engraves every piece of house silver.
Today there are six showrooms, a workshop that still resizes and repairs by hand, and a bespoke salon on Cressingham Street. The silver still comes from Larkspur Street.

Four things behind the name.
A name that has been on silver since 1891 has to mean something specific. These are the four things we will put in writing with every piece, and the marks you will find if you look.
Our own mark
Every piece of silver carries the FH maker's mark first struck in 1891, beside the Birmingham anchor and the date letter.
Traced origin
Every diamond over 0.30ct is tracked from one of four named mining countries to the finished ring, and the paperwork comes in the box.
