Thomas Lyte is an English luxury brand specialising in gold and silverware, sporting trophies and leather accessories.
[2][3][4][5][6] In January 2015 Queen Elizabeth II appointed a Royal Warrant to Thomas Lyte as Goldsmiths and Silversmiths.
Granted for a five-year period to the firm and founder Kevin Baker as a grantee, the appointment recognises that Thomas Lyte has been a direct supplier and restorer of silverware to the Royal Household since 2010.
[7] In 2016, Thomas Lyte restored and rebuilt the Football Association's original 1908 Charity Shield, the replacement of which is known as the FA Community Shield, to mark 50 years since England Captain Bobby Moore and his teammates beat West Germany in the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
The auction was held at The Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, where the England team celebrated the 1966 victory.
