Note: Walter Child (1840-1930) and Harold Child (1848-1915) were brothers who founded their jewellery business in Seville Street, London, in 1880. They became renowned for their artistic jewellery - particularly featuring enamels - including jewels made for Sir Edward Burne-Jones. By 1892 the firm had moved to 35 Alfred Place West (now Thurloe Street).
