RICHARD MORTON

Brinsworth Orchard, Fargate, Sheffield


An example of the work and mark of Richard Morton:

Image
R·M - Sheffield - 1779

Richard Morton entered the following marks with the Sheffield Assay Office:

Image
Entered on the 16th September 1773

Image
As Richard Morton & Co. (Richard Morton, Thomas Warris, John Winter, Samuel Roberts, John Elam, Thomas Sattle, John Eyre, and Nathaniel Smith), entered on the 30th September 1773

Image
Entered on the 13th July 1780

Image
Entered on the 12th February 1781


The earliest record we have of those who joined Morton and others is much later than "about 1765," for it is found in the Assay Office Register of 1773. In that year a mark for silver was entered by Richard Morton, John Winter, Samuel Roberts, Thomas Warris, John Elam, Thomas Settle, John Eyre, and Nathaniel Smith. Winter’s presence in this firm explains the fact that when, in 1779, presenting to the Cutlers’ Company “an elegant” gilt silver cup bearing the stamp "R. Morton & Co., fecerunt," he described it as "of his own manufacture." Its date letter is 1776.

Besides being a member of this firm and engaged in the Parsons candlestick factory, Winter had a third string to his bow and Roberts a second, for on the same day as the entry of the previous mark, there was also registered another by Samuel Roberts, John Elam, Thomas Settle, John Eyre, and Nathaniel Smith. The address given in both cases was Brinsworth Orchard, or as it is elsewhere described, "near Fargate." Thus here were two contiguous firms, the one trading as Richard Morton Co. and the other as Roberts, Elam, Winter & Co., and while Morton was the principal partner of the one, Roberts dominated the other. In 1780, Settle (with Warris) and Morton, at the old address registered separate marks.

In 1793 there was a further re-arrangement, including new men, when Joseph Wilson, who has been mentioned (page 40), took the lead, the mark registered being But death soon ended this and the survivors were scattered. In I781 Roberts, with John Eyre, had gone off to Union Street to found the firm of Roberts, Eyre, Beldon & Co. In 1787 both of the Fargate firms—Richard Morton & Co. and Roberts, Elam, Winter & Co.have disappeared, Roberts, Eyre, Beldon & Co. succeeding the latter.

P.A. RAMMUSSEN

Sheffield


Mr. P. A. Rammussen, a silversmith of Sheffield, one of the artisans sent by the Society of Arts to report on the Paris Universal Exhibition of 1867, observes : —“The cost at which silver-work is produced in different countries varies considerably, and is affected by a number of causes, such as wages, cost of materials, duties, employment of machinery, or adaptation of labour-saving processes. In the ordinary kind of silver-work for the dinner or tea table, it is not difficult to arrive at a comparison. Some of the English work of that description is very good; plain forms, easily kept clean, extremely well polished ; in some instances beautifully engraved and very substantial. They cannot be matched by any on the Continent, but their price is naturally much higher. Their heavy weight forms, of course, an important item in this respect. In France they are produced cheaper, and in other countries still more so, but nearly always considerably lighter. Wages are, generally speaking, higher in England than on the Continent.
