Thomas Fattorini Ltd

Thomas Fattorini Ltd is a manufacturing jeweller and designer-maker of awards, trophies, ceremonial swords, civic insignia, medals and name badges.

The company was founded in 1827 by Antonio Fattorini an Italian speaking immigrant who was born in 1797, from Bellagio near Como in the north of Italy and who settled in Yorkshire where he began to trade in jewellery, watches and barometers.

[1][2] He was one of many Italian immigrants who came to in England between 1790s and 1851 at the time when the Napoleonic wars left northern Italy with a destroyed agriculture and much hardship.

The British Hallmarking Council chose a new commemorative mark to celebrate Her Majesty The Queen's Platinum Jubilee 2022 which was designed by Thomas Fattorini.

The rule of these clubs made it possible for individuals to buy unaffordable goods, and latterly services, by regular instalments over a period of time.

By 1906 their 35th Annual club was offering pianos, leather travel goods, bicycles (Royal Wingfield, Singer & Humber), spectacles, Edison Bell phonographs, Pathephones and sewing machines for sale by weekly instalments from their stores in Skipton and Bolton.

[13] With the expanding trade in Skipton for medals and awards, the company opened its first factory in 1919 in Hockley street in the Jewellery Quarter Birmingham.

[21] Thomas Peter Fattorini (1932-2010) was present at the inaugural meeting of BAMS, held at the Royal Society of Arts on 27 April 1982 and served as vice president from the late 1980s until his death in November 2010.
