Halcyon Days Ltd

Halcyon Days Ltd is a British retailer of luxury goods including enamel products, fine bone china, crystal, cashmere, leather and silk.

The company operates its primary retail store at The Royal Exchange in London, with the company’s administrative HQ in Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, England, and its enamel production facility situated at its Strawberry site in the West Midlands, England. Products can be purchased at the stores, online at www.halcyondays.co.uk, and at other fine retailers worldwide including Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Selfridges, Neiman Marcus and Scully & Scully of New York, to name a few

It is one of a very small number of companies to have held all four Royal Warrants, including that of the late Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and still today is one of only 15 companies to hold all three Royal Warrants, as suppliers of works of art to the British Royal Family. The warrants held are those of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, and HRH Charles, Prince of Wales.

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 English antiques, in particular small enamel boxes. By 1959 the company had outgrown its original premises and moved to its home on Brook Street, where it remained for some 50 years. It now operates a shop in the Royal Exchange in the City of London ( opens September 2016 ) and from its offices and showroom in Knightsbridge, London

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