From its central London location, Asprey advertised ‘articles of exclusive design and high quality', whether for personal adornment or personal accompaniment and to endow with richness and beauty the table and homes of people of refinement and discernment. Queen Victoria awarded Asprey a Royal Warrant in 1862. The 20s and 30s were a golden age for Asprey.
