Walter Child (1840-1930) and Harold Child (1848-1915) were brothers who founded their jewellery business in Seville Street, London, in 1880.  They became known for their artistic jewellery, including jewels made for Sir Edward Burne-Jones.  By 1892 the firm had moved to 35 Alfred Place West (now Thurloe Street).  Their mark of two Cs and a sunflower can still be seen on no. 35 by visitors who come out of South Kensington Underground Station in Thurloe Street (on the route above ground to the V&A).\r\n\r\nIn 1899 the partnership was dissolved and the firm continued trading under the same name in the ownership of  Harold Child until his death in 1915.  In 1913 the firm listed amongst its patrons, the late Queen Victoria, the late King Edward VII, King George V, the late Empress Frederick of Prussia, and the Tsarina of Russia.","physicalDescription":"Brooch made of gold, silver, amethyst, enamel and a pearl.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Child & Child","id":"A3164"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"x40240"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"gold","id":"AAT11021"},{"text":"silver","id":"AAT11029"},{"text":"enamel","id":"AAT14910"},{"text":"amethyst","id":"AAT11133"},{"text":"pearl","id":"AAT11827"}],"techniques":[{"text":"enamelling","id":"x37485"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Enamelled gold and silver set with amethyst and hung with a pearl","categories":[{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"},{"text":"Metalwork","id":"THES48920"},{"text":"Accessories","id":"THES48998"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2007BP2934","2007BP2935"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91 (VA)","id":"THES49703"},"free":"","case":"25","shelf":"B","box":"9"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"brooch","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1900","earliest":"1895-01-01","latest":"1904-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by the American Friends of the V&A through the generosity of Patricia V.
