Transit Architecture Time for a Drastic Change

Frazer and Haws is a 150
year old British heritage brand
producing limited edition artifacts
in hallmarked sterling silver. The
bespoke fusion designs created
by combining diverse materials
such as metal, wood, glass and
stone is what sets them apart.
Jalaj Anand is the Creative
Director of Frazer and Haws. The
brand takes pride in its strong
talented in-house design team trained in London. Each design is
original – carefully drawn on cartridge sheets and then handpainted
meticulously with imported gouache. The drawings are
detailed down to the last mm with side, front and top dimensions
and facets. The subsequent step is the making of prototypes,
which are checked for lines, design, practicality, tenacity and
weight. Once the prototype is finally approved, only then is the
product sent for production. The Frazer and Haws hallmark is
registered with the Hall of Assays in London. Hallmarking, first
introduced in 1300, has acted as a safeguard to gold and silver
purchasers ever since. It is one of the most important forms of
consumer protection.
Lamp Equestrian
This exquisitely crafted horse in composite stone has silver
stirrups with open stitch pattern engraved on it. The base
of the lamp is made of highly polished and chiselled black
granite. The outer demarcation of the two tiered base is in
silver with bolts in gold gilding. The lovely raw silk shade is
hosted on a brass arm. A truly elegant piece which would
light up any room.
