A sterling silver thimble by esteemed silversmith Charles Horner (size 7). Hallmarks on this one are for Chester, 1922.
Charles Horner was a renowned English silversmith whose Halifax workshop became famous for stylish, accessible silverware during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His designs often embraced the flowing lines of Art Nouveau, appearing in pendants, brooches, hatpins, and other small decorative pieces. Horner’s most celebrated innovation was the Dorcas thimble, engineered with a steel core and silver outer shell for exceptional durability. Items bearing his C.H. maker’s mark—typically accompanied by full Chester hallmarks—are prized today for their craftsmanship, distinctive enamel work, and their place in British jewellery history. Collectors value Horner pieces for their quality, charm, and the traceable hallmarks that make dating his work unusually straightforward.
