Hester Bateman is one of the most celebrated silversmiths of the Georgian era, widely recognized as the "Queen of English Silversmiths."

Known for her refined designs, delicate beading and intricate engraving, Bateman's work showcases an elegance and precision that has become synonymous with her name. Her mastery of the Neoclassical style and ability to balance beauty with functionality have left a lasting legacy, making her works highly sought after by collectors and institutions alike.
