J C Vickery were trading from Regent Street, London during the late 1800’s early 1900’s.

Originally a partnership between John Vickery and Arthur Hobbs. They purchased their premises on Regents Street which at the time was trading as a book and stationers. Adding quality Dressing Cases, Jewellery Boxes, Vanity Boxes along with gold and silver items to their collections, they built a sound reputation for quality and craftsmanship. Unfortunately, the partnership didn’t last and was dissolved in the late 1800’s and John Vickery carried on the business alone. He was very successful over a few decades and was granted numerous Royal Warrants not just in England but exporting throughout Europe. Unfortunately, the success didn’t last and the company ceased trading in 1930 and it went into administration, John Vickery died in the same year.
