ANTIQUE (1853-1925) ATKIN BROTHERS SHEFFIELD ENGLAND SILVERPLATED COFFEE POT ON STAND

AN ANTIQUE (1853-1925) ATKIN BROTHERS SILVER PLATED COFFEE POT ON STAND.
BY ATKINS BROTHERS (HARRY, EDWARD AND FRANK), SHEFFIELD ENGLAND IN THE LATE NINETEENTH TO EARLY TWENTIETH CENTURY.
WITH BAKELITE HANDLE AND LID AND DECORATIVE FLUTED HINGED DOMED LID, GOOSENECK SPOUT AND FLUTED DESIGN ALONG LOWER BASE OF BODY. This version of the Edwardian Era (1901-1910) silver plated coffee pot is fitted with a wood finish bakelight handle. It was later replaced after 1910 with a black Bakelite handle and lid finial.
 
MARKINGS: The coffee pot body is stamped HA EA FA each in a separate mark followed by EPNS and 4117. These letters are the three brothers of Henry Atkin Harry, Edward and Frank. THIS MARK DATE FROM 1853 TO 1925.
ALL FOUR FEET OF THE STAND IS MARKED 795. I dont think there is a fineness value for 795 to my knowledge so I am unsure what this number indicates here. Maybe an item no? But why marked on all 4 feet? So I have given the weight of the stand alone for those interested its 250g.
 
ATKINS BROTHERS (1824 1940):
Atkin Brothers manufactured a wide range of electroplate, Britannia Metal, silver and plated cutlery supplied to many firms in the United Kingdom and in the Colonies.
Atkin Brothers business traces his origin to Thomas Law, a silversmith active in Sheffield from c. 1750 to 1775. He was one of the only two firms combining the trades of cutlers and general silversmiths.
The business was continued by his sons John and William, and later by Joseph Law.
In 1829 Henry Atkin and John Oxley, trading as Atkin, Oxley & Co, succeeded to the original firm. They dissolved their partnership c. 1840.
Henry Atkin continued the trade as Henry Atkin & Co at 32 Howard Street, Sheffield.
He died in 1853, and his sons Harry Wright Atkin, Edward Thomas Atkin and Frank Shaw Atkin continued the trade under the style Atkin Brothers in their Truro Works, Matilda Street, Sheffield.
The firm opened offices in London, managed by Harry Wright Atkin, and in 1925 became a limited liability company as Atkin Brothers (Silversmiths) Ltd.
They were purchased by Thomas Bradley and sons in 1940 which for their part was taken over by CJ Vander of London in 1958.
In 1996 the CJ Vander was acquired by Syratech Corporation, owners of the leading silver brands in the USA. THEY ARE STILL IN BUSINESS.
