William Guinea Grain (1834)

The William series honors Benjamin Barling's son William Barling. William followed in the family trade, taking up silversmithing and joining his father's workshop, alongside his brother, Edward Barling. Benjamin changed the company name to Barling & Sons, beginning the "Family Era" of Barling that continued until the 1960s, when the Barling family sold the company. The William series comprises a wide array of shapes unique to the line, each of which features standard, 3mm drilling and is appropriately embellished with a gorgeous band of silver. This particular example is the 1834 Poker, dressed in the Guinea Grain finish.
