Administrative history
The business was found by Charles Stuart Harris in 1897.
They acquired an extensive range of premises in Hatton Garden, Red Lion Street, Bateman Street in Soho, the latter probably acquired in December 1897 from two other Stuart Harris’ – Arthur and Ernst who were trading as ‘Harris Brothers’.
The company kept trading until 1934 but had given up most of their premises by that time except those at 41 & 43 Hatton Garden. They were eventually taken over by I Freeman & Sons, another manufacturing silversmiths and dealers in antique silver and plated items also of Hatton Garden.
