Nathaniel Mills & Sons
Nathaniel Mills & Sons were 19th century Birmingham silversmiths who excelled in the making of silver boxes, vinaigrettes, snuff boxes and card cases.
Nathaniel Mills (1746–1840) was succeeded by his sons Nathaniel, William and Thomas and most of the pieces made between 1840 and 1853 were made by William or Thomas, who were partners in the firm.
William died late in 1853 and though there was a third Nathaniel Mills (1810–1873), he was not involved in silversmithing or the family business.[1]
