Who are Asprey? 

Asprey is a London luxury retailer founded in 1781, internationally recognised for jewellery, silver, dressing cases and fine personal accessories. Originally established by William Asprey in Mitcham, Surrey, the firm evolved from silk printing into a leading luxury house and relocated to New Bond Street by the mid nineteenth century.

In 1859 Asprey acquired the Royal Warrant holding dressing case maker Edwards, expanding its production of fitted cases and luxury goods. The firm received its first Royal Warrant from Queen Victoria in 1862 and went on to supply successive members of the British Royal Family.

Throughout the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Asprey grew into an international retailer, producing commissioned silver, jewellery, leather goods and bespoke objects for clients worldwide. The company continues to operate today as a British luxury house, with workshops in London producing fine jewellery, silver and leather items.
