German composer Johann Sebastian Bach was born in Eisenach, Thuringia in 1685. Born into a large musical family, he was the youngest child of string player Johann Ambrosius Bach and Elisabeth Lämmerhirt. His parents died when he was ten, and he was cared for by his eldest brother until he won a choral scholarship to the school at Michaelskirche, Lüneburg in 1700. This appears to have influenced his interest in church music and the organ. In August 1703 he was appointed as the organist for the Neue Kirche in Arnstadt, although his eccentricities gave his employers some cause for complaint. In June 1707 Bach moved to the Blasiuskirche in Mühlhausen, Thuringia, marrying his cousin, Maria Barbara, in October that same year. During this time he produced several church cantatas.
Berthold Muller & Son was an import firm, listed in 1893 as a manufacturer's agent operating from 165 Wardour Street, London. They distributed Hanau silver from the workshop of Ludwig Neresheimer and Co. It appears that there were three generations of Berthold Mullers involved in the firm from the late nineteenth century into the early twentieth century, who were also plate metal workers or silversmiths. In 1915 Muller anglicised his name to Miller, and became B. Miller & Son in 1915, carrying on business as a wholesale silversmiths and jewellers, antique reproduction in silver, ivories, miniatures, enamels.
