George Edward Hunt (2 September 1892 – 1960) was a notable British Birmingham-based Arts and Crafts jeweller.
[1] The family left the Black Country and moved to Harborne, a suburb of Birmingham, where Hunt remained until his death in 1960.
[2] In 1908, at the age of sixteen, Hunt won free admission to the Margaret Street Art School in Birmingham, where he was taught by Bernard Cuzner.
By the 1920s his clientele included aristocracy such as Eileen Sutherland-Leveson-Gower, Duchess of Sutherland, for whom he made a series of enamelled miniatures of her ancestors.
[1] An exhibition of his work, The Silent World of an Arts and Crafts Jeweller was held by Bonhams in 2006, at their premises in London, Bath and Knowle, near Birmingham.
