About the Manufacturer: Walker & Hall
Walker & Hall is one of the most distinguished and respected companies in the United Kingdom, known for producing high-quality silverware. Established in 1845 in Sheffield—a city long renowned as the heart of English metallurgy and craftsmanship—the company quickly earned a stellar reputation for its exceptional skill and attention to detail.
Walker & Hall were pioneers in adopting innovative techniques, such as electroplating, which allowed them to create exquisite items at more accessible prices while maintaining the highest standards of quality. Their product range, which included flatware, serving sets, jewelry, and decorative objects, gained widespread popularity not only in Britain but also internationally. The company received numerous awards at international exhibitions, and their creations were often commissioned for royal households and aristocratic families.
Walker & Hall continued operations until the mid-20th century, when the company was acquired by a larger conglomerate. However, their legacy endures to this day: items bearing the Walker & Hall hallmark are highly sought after by collectors and antique enthusiasts for their historical significance, elegant design, and outstanding craftsmanship. These salt cellars are a shining example of the artistry that made Walker & Hall a symbol of English tradition and sophistication.

A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
