Specialists in English-made luxury goods, the business has two factories; one for enamelware in Wolverhampton and the other for English fine bone china in the heart of the pottery industry, Stoke-on-Trent.

The company operates its primary retail store within The Royal Exchange in London and its head office and showroom in London's Knightsbridge.

History

[edit]

Established in 1950 as an emporium of antique gifts in Mayfair, London, specialising in 17th and 18th century-style enamelware made in the Midlands, Halcyon Days is one of only fourteen companies in the world to hold all three Royal Warrants to the British Royal Household.[citation needed]

Over the years, the business has collaborated with The Wallace Collection, The National Gallery, Blenheim Palace, Smithsonian Institution, The Frick, International Churchill Society, Harrods, Fortnum & Mason, Nina Campbell, British Museum, Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra, Tate Gallery, and the artist Ralph Heimans.[citation needed]

Presently the company holds licenses with Historic Royal Palaces, Gordon Castle, and the Castle of Mey.
