Liberty Purse Mirror

Slip a piece of Art Nouveau design into a handbag. Our Liberty Pewter Purse Mirror has the pattern pressed in proper relief across the pewter back, with a small stone set into the centre.

The pewter back is handcrafted at our Birmingham workshop in some of the finest British Pewter. It measures 55mm across and weighs around 75g. Pewter takes on a soft patina with handling that only makes it look better with age. The mirror sits on the reverse, clear and undistorted. Each one arrives in a suede pouch with a drawstring top, ready for birthdays, Mother's Day, anniversaries or anyone who collects Arts and Crafts pieces.

The Liberty name is no accident. The pattern descends from Archibald Knox, the early-twentieth-century designer who created the famous Cymric and Tudric ranges for Liberty of London. His Celtic-revival style is still copied a century later. Owning a piece genuinely descended from his work is no small thing.

A Pewter Maker picking up an Antique Mould

A E Williams (Est 1779) Ltd is one of Britain's oldest pewter makers, still run by the family that founded it nearly 250 years ago. 


The story began when Thomas Williams started a small workshop making flatware and dishes from his home on the Welsh border, and from there the craft passed down through eight generations of the same family, all the way to Rebecca Johnson, who joined the business in 2015. 


Today we're based at our workshop in Digbeth, Birmingham, where we've been since the early 1970s.

OUR STORY
Pouring molten pewter into a bronze mould

We work from a collection of over 1,500 antique bronze moulds, some of which are centuries old. Many were made by hand long before machine tooling existed, and we still use them today, alongside moulds and skills of our own, to produce pieces with the kind of character that mass production simply can't replicate.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At A E Williams, the materials we work with have been chosen over nearly 250 years of making things properly. Pewter sits at the heart of everything we do, but we also work with slate, glass, leather, and wood — each selected because it brings something the others can't: a different feel, a different occasion, a different kind of beauty.

Whatever you're looking for, every material we use is chosen to last, and to look better for it.
