Charles Boardman

Charles Boardman was a silversmith who started producing sterling silver items in 1844. He went on to start electroplating before setting up in partnership with Glossop in 1847.

The new firm, Boardman & Glossop traded in Sheffield between 1861 and 1871, and then became Boardman, Glossop & Co in 1887 before converting to a limited company in 1895 as Boardman, Glossop & Co Ltd. They were known as silversmiths, electroplaters and Britannia metalsmiths and had workshops in Sheffield as well as premises in Holborn in London.

The business was bought out by Frank Cobb & Co in 1924.
