Notes on Dixon & Boodles
J Dixon & Sons founded 1806 in Sheffield. One of the major British manufacturers of the Industrial Revolution. Manufacturers of pewterware, electroplated Britannia metal, silverware and electroplated nickel silver. Their products included hundreds of items for use in the kitchen and the dining room as well as items such as candlesticks.
Boodles is a privately held British luxury jeweller and jewellery designer group founded in 1798. The company Kirk & Co. was originally founded in 1798 in Hull. In 1878, Henry Wainright began apprenticing in making watches and jewellery under his uncle, William Wainright. In 1889, Henry Wainright began managing Kirk & Co.’s new location in Liverpool. He later bought the company and renamed it to H. Wainright & Sons when his sons, Herbert and Harold, joined the business in 1898. In 1910 the two sons established their own business with the purchase of Boodle and Dunthorne. After Harold was killed in WWI, Henry and Herbert chose to merge H. Wainwright & Sons with Boodle and Dunthorne. They relocated the business to the corner of Lord Street and North John Street in Liverpool, which remains Boodles’ head office today. It has stores in London, Manchester, Dublin, Leeds and Chester. Their flagship store is found on New Bond Street, London.
