Cators is a modern British silverware company creating distinctive pieces for the home, for gifting and for marking important occasions. Our work brings together traditional silver craftsmanship with a cleaner, more contemporary design language — elegant, useful and made to be lived with.

We believe British silver should feel relevant again. Not hidden away, not reserved only for formal occasions, but part of modern life: a silver frame on a desk, a money clip carried every day, a pair of engraved cufflinks, a decanter label, a bookmark, or a piece of barware used and enjoyed.

Our collections are designed around proportion, weight, detail and longevity. Many pieces can be engraved or personalised, making them suitable for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, christenings, corporate gifts and private commissions.

Cators also works with a small circle of ambassadors and advisers across design, antiques, heritage and business growth. Their guidance helps us build a silverware company rooted in British tradition, but shaped for a new generation of collectors, gift buyers and homes.

From classic gifts to new design-led collections, our ambition is simple: to make British silverware distinctive, desirable and relevant once more.

Our Makers & Outworkers

Cators works with a small network of skilled makers, finishers, engravers and specialist outworkers who support our production and bespoke work. Their craftsmanship sits behind many of the details that define our pieces — from forming and finishing to engraving, polishing and preparation. We value these relationships as an important part of keeping British silverware practical, flexible and beautifully made.
