The Birmingham Assay Office has some beautiful examples ofregional Arts and Crafts Movement silver in its collection, including thesecandlesticks by the Birmingham silversmith Albert Edward Jones (1879-1954).They are typical of the Arts and Crafts style,A.E. Jones trained at the BirminghamMunicipal School of Art and was apprenticed to Woodwards Silversmiths inParadise Street and later to Hardman Powells, the ecclesiastical silversmiths.He had close links with the Birmingham Guild of Handicraft and was alsoassociated with the Bromsgrove Guild. He worked initially at his father’spremises in Hurst Street but in 1902 started working on his own account as asilversmith in Windmill Street. The firm moved to Livery Street and eventuallyto Pemberton Street off Warstone Lane. In 1905, Jones acquired designs andmetalwork from the Jesson & Birkett Company Ltd, including the famous StDunstan’s trademark, which depicted a monk hand-raising a bowl. This became thetrademark of A.E.Jones. The company produced a range of hand-made silver itemsincluding bowls, candlesticks, tea sets, clocks, trays, butter dishes andcondiment sets. The work of A.E. Jones is becoming increasingly sought after bycollectors today and the Assay Office holds a number of pieces in itscollection.
