Mappin & Webb was founded in 1775 when Jonathan Mappin opened a Sheffield based silver workshop, with the mission to create the most beautifully crafted silverware for affluent English society. ==History== As a natural progression from silverware, Mappin & Webb created jewels for royal courts across the globe, from the Queen of France Marie-Antoinette, to the Empress of Siam and Princess Grace of Monaco. The brand historically held Royal Warrants to both the Russian Empire and the Japanese Royal Household. Queen Victoria was the first Monarch to commission Mappin & Webb. Her Majesty’s Golden Jubilee necklace was created by the house in 1888 and was designated by the Monarch as an heirloom of the crown. Royal Warrant holders since 1897 and marking some of England’s most significant cultural moments, Mappin & Webb is proud to maintain warrants to both Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales. The company’s longstanding royal connection was further cemented by the appointment of Mappin & Webb’s master craftsman in 2012, to the position of Crown Jeweller. The Crown Jeweller is the custodian of the Crown Jewels and is responsible for preparing them for the State opening of Parliament and other state occasions. The appointment of Mappin & Webb’s craftsman to the role of Crown Jeweller is a great honour for the British brand. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mappin & Webb」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
