Adrian Gerald Sallis Benney (1930-2008) was an influential British silver and goldsmith who established the House of Benney in London in 1952. Spanning a career of over fifty years, he became celebrated for his modern designs, his signature textured “bark finish,” and for being the first British craftsperson to hold four Royal Warrants simultaneously. In addition to his extensive studio production and ceremonial commissions, he served as Professor of Silversmithing and Jewellery at the Royal College of Art from 1974 to 1983.
