SIBRAY, HALL & CO LTD
(successors of SIBRAY, HALL & CO)

The firm was founded in Sheffield by Frederick Sibray and Job Frank Hall and was active as manufacturing silversmiths and electroplaters at Fitzwalter Works, 111 St Mary's Road and in its London showrooms at 30 Ely Place, Holborn (c. 1890).
Frederick Sibray died in 1891 and Charles Clement Pilling entered in the partnership with Job Frank Hall until (1896) the firm was converted into a limited liability company as Sibray, Hall & Co Ltd.
When F.J. Hall retired (c. 1900) he disposed of his interests in the firm to C.C. Pilling.
The firm was present with its silverware production (dessert services, trophies and shields, cups and bowls, tea and coffee services, etc.) at the Jewellers' Exhibition of 1912.
