Humphrey Payne was a British jewelry firm founded in 1877 by William Payne and named after his son, Humphrey Payne. The company specialized in creating fine jewelry and silverware, and was known for their high-quality craftsmanship and innovative designs.
Humphrey Payne quickly gained a reputation for their Art Nouveau designs, which were characterized by flowing lines, nature-inspired motifs, and a sense of movement. They also created jewelry in the Arts and Crafts style, which emphasized handcrafted techniques and the use of natural materials.
In the early 20th century, Humphrey Payne became a leading supplier of jewelry and silverware to the British royal family, and the company received several royal warrants.
Humphrey Payne continued to thrive throughout the 20th century, and in the 1980s, the company was acquired by the Garrard Group, which was itself owned by Asprey. Today, the Humphrey Payne name is still used by Asprey to produce high-end jewelry and silverware.
