Guild of Handicraft Silver Items for Sale

GUILD of HANDICRAFT & GEORGE HART: Charles Robert Ashbee originally set up the Guild and School of Handicraft in East London in 1888. The school closed in 1895 and Ashbee moved the Guild down to Chipping Campden in 1902, but this was liquidated in 1907. George Henry Hart (1882-1973) was one of the original silversmiths who had moved with Ashbee and he took over the running of the workshops. But with the difficult conditions after the First World War he concentrated on farming until his success in the 1926 and 1927 Goldsmith's Company competitions; he was made a Freeman in 1929 and in 1933 became a Liveryman of the Company. He was joined in 1930 by his son, Henry, and for a time also by his half-brother Reynell Huyshe and the impressed mark on some metal wares was Hart and Huyshe, Campden, Glos. Huyshe was more of an academic and left to teach at the Gravesend School of Art where he taught, among others, Alex Styles. Now George Hart's grandson David Hart is left to continue the work of the Guild of Handicraft together with the next generation.
