The founders were Thomas Henry Daniel (died 1897) and Thomas Richard Arter (died c. 1915) and was active at Globe Nevada Silver Works, Highgate Street, Birmingham as makers of brass, nickel-silver and electro-plated spoons, forks, ladles, etc. (1892).
The firm had also a London showroom at 62 Holborn Viaduct (until 1896) and later at 98 Hatton Garden.
Sterling silver hallmarks were entered in Sheffield Assay Office (1906) and London Assay Office (1913). Both these hallmarks were scarcely used.
