Robert Radford Welch studied silversmithing at the Royal College of Art. Upon graduation in 1955, he left London for Gloucestershire countryside where he rented a small room in a disused 18th century Silk Mill in Chipping Campden. He remained true to a design ethos that prioritised economy of form and priority of function over following fashionable fads and trends, and the outcome was a portfolio of timeless designs, an archive which today's company is proud to build upon. With our roots firmly planted, today we are able to draw on this legacy of iconic designs and enduring values, as we reach further out into the world. We now supply over 100 countries yet proudly retain our Cotswold identity. Our designs can be found in homes, cathedrals, universities, embassies, hotels, restaurants, cruise liners, airlines and museums all over the world.
