Bromsgrove Guild Of Applied Arts

The Guild received a Royal Warrant in 1908.
The Guild's most famous works on public display are the main gates of Buckingham Palace and the Canada Gate both part of Sir Aston Webb's memorial scheme to Queen Victoria.
Unlike many other Arts & Crafts companies that faded away after a few decades, for instance Morris & Co, the Bromsgrove Guild survived until after World War II.
