History
Barton was established in 1861 by Thomas Barton (born in England), at No.9, South Parade, now known as MG Road, in Bangalore, where the business showroom is still located. The company became renowned for the wide range of silverware it produced, particularly regimental and trophy works. In 1891, Percy Alfred Barton , son of Thomas, took over as the second managing Director, continuing the family legacy until 1947 when the business was bought over by
Madhukar Surajmal Mehta, of Palanpur, Gujarat. His family continue to run the company, now more often referred to as 'the Silvermasters'.
