Brook & Son was a prestigious Edinburgh-based firm of goldsmiths, silversmiths, and jewellers established in 1891 at 87 George Street. Known for high-quality items, they were silversmiths to George V and the Royal Company of Archers, creating, among other things, silver tea caddies. The business was formed after acquiring Marshalls and continued under the Brook family until the 1940s.
