The Death of a Beloved Monarch

It is with immense sadness that we learn about the death of our beloved monarch, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

On behalf of the Chairman, Assay Master, Guardians of the Standard of Wrought Plate within the Town of Sheffield and all staff at Sheffield Assay Office, we offer our deepest condolences to King Charles and members of the Royal family.


The Sheffield Assay Office was established in 1773, under an Act of Parliament and today the company assays and hallmarks the precious metals - silver, gold, platinum and palladium. Sheffield Assay Office is one of only four UK assay offices who all work to uphold the Hallmarking Act of 1973 and continue to ensure consumer protection for customers purchasing precious metals.
