The firm was established as Furniss, Poles &amp; Turner. The first hallmark was entered in Sheffield Assay Office as "plate worker, Furnival Street, Sheffield" on December 20, 1810.

From c. 1822 to 1945 the firm traded as William Briggs (hallmark entered as Plate Worker, Button Lane on August 14, 1822). Later, William Briggs entered in partnership with Samuel Roberts and Joseph Slater.

In 1845, the firm, trading as Roberts &amp; Slater, silver and electroplate manufacturers, entered its hallmark in Sheffield Assay Office (September 1, 1845. Address: Furnivall Street).

After the retirement of Joseph Slater (1858), the activity was continued until 1863 under the style Roberts &amp; Briggs (hallmark entered on September 1, 1859).
