Founded by Susan Benjamin in 1950, Halcyon Days was initially a small antiques shop based on Avery Row in London which specialised in dealing with Englishantiques, in particular small enamel boxes.[1]By 1959 the company had out grown its original premises and moved to its current home on Brook Street.[2]

Whilst the English craft ofenamelingon copper flourished during the 18th century, by the 1830s it had almost disappeared; consequently the pieces which Halcyon Days specialised in were extremely rare.[3]In 1970 Susan Benjamin established a collaboration with enamel manufacturer Bilston and Battersea Enamels.[4]

In 1978 Halcyon Days was granted the Royal Warrant of QueenElizabeth II, followed in 1987 by theRoyal Warrantsof theDuke of EdinburghandThe Prince of Wales, as the first ever ‘Suppliers of Objets d’Art’.[5]

By the 1980s the company began to produce new products in bone china and porcelain.[5]In 2008 the company opened a new workshop at Tipton. Today all enamel pieces are still hand-produced at this workshop
