His work, often characterized by fine craftsmanship and quality, would have been recognized for its precision and elegant design. As a silversmiths they would have created various silver objects, including trays, tea sets, flatware, and decorative pieces they were likely part of the broader tradition of English silversmiths who worked during a time when silver was highly prized both for its value and aesthetic appeal. His work may have been hallmarked in London, as many prominent silversmiths of that period were based in or around the city.
