A&J Zimmerman
Arthur and John Zimmerman (A&J Zimmerman) was a silverware company founded in 1879 by Arthur S. Zimmerman and John Ulrich Zimmerman. The company was registered as a limited company in 1902 and ceased operations in 1930. A&J Zimmerman owned workshops in Birmingham and London, and also had a London Showroom, although most of their pieces were assayed to Birmingham.
Most of the items created under the name A&J Zimmerman were small, simple silver items such as card cases, photo frames and boxes, vesta (matchbox) cases, or inkwells that incorporated compasses or clocks, increasing the value of the silver but still drawing from modest styles and forms. Most surviving items are hallmarked between 1890 and 1910, which suggests that this was the most prolific and successful period for the firm.
Little information survives about the history of the firm of A&J Zimmerman, however, the lasting nature of so many of their silver items speaks to the quality and craftsmanship of their pieces.
