Rundell and Bridge

Rundell & Bridge were a British jewellery firm based in London, also trading under the more familiar title Rundell, Bridge and Rundell.

Philip Rundell and John Bridge were appointed Royal Goldsmiths, Silversmiths, Jewellers and Medallists in 1797 and held the Royal Warrant until 1843. [ [http://www.rundellandbridge.com/book.html Christopher Hartop "et al.", "Royal Goldsmiths: The Art of Rundell & Bridge 1797-1843" (Adamson) 2005] ]

Amongst their employees were the well known artists John Flaxman and Thomas Stothard, who both designed and modelled silverware. Directing their workshops from 1802 were the silversmith Benjamin Smith and the designer Digby Scott; and in 1807, Paul Storr, the most celebrated English silversmith of the period, took charge.

The Royal Goldsmiths served four monarchs - George III and his son the Prince Regent (later George IV, William IV and Victoria.
