<strong>Charles &amp; George Reily &amp; Storer</strong> – were silversmiths operating in London during the first half of the 19th Century during the reigns of William IV and Victoria.

Charles Reily went into partnership with his mother Mary Reily and entered his first mark on 31st May 1826 from their workshop address at Carey Lane, London, just round the corner from the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths’ Hall. It appears they went into partnership with George Storer in 1829 as they registered another mark as silverplate workers on the 1st January of that year. They moved briefly to Paternoster Row in 1835 just as the new hall for the Goldsmiths was opened but were back at Carey Lane by 16th February, 1836.
<p style="text-align: left">They registered their third mark in two sizes in 1840. It appears they started to specialise in smaller pieces as their later marks are found mainly on high quality snuff boxes and other smaller items.</p>

Charles Reily &amp; George Storer

Antique Silver Victorian Jug made in 1840

A London based manufacturing silversmiths who traded from around 1858 until the 1930s.

The firm was founded by William Comyns when he bought the business of Robert Tagg (founded in 1730) around 1858 and entered his first mark from the original Robert Tagg premises in Soho, London.

The business expanded rapidly, and the firm moved and gradually took up more and more premises on Beak Street, off Regent Street. They became William Comyns &amp; Son in 1885 when his two sons Charles and Richard joined the partnership.

They had a significant impact in the 1880s by producing large numbers of decorative items in silver which were retailed through leading London retailers of the time, such as Henry Lewis and Howell &amp; James.

William Comyns died in 1916, and his son Charles died in 1925 whilst at a sale at Christie's. They registered as a limited company in 1930 as William Comyns &amp; Sons Ltd with the remaining son, Richard, registered as the permanent governing director.

When Richard died in 1953, the company was bought by Bernard Copping. They are now one of the few remaining manufacturing silversmiths in London with premises in London WC2.
