笔记

A restrained trade card with a vignette of the shop sign depicting the three kings and their golden ball. Stafford Briscoe (c1711-1789) and his ?father John Briscoe (fl1724-1756) were jewelers and goldsmiths at the Three Kings and Golden Ball in Cheapside from the 1740s. It seems that Stafford then operated from the same premises alone until he was joined by Richard Morrison from 1762. They were in business together until 1780 when Briscoe appears to have retired to a large property at Cross Deep in Twickenham. He is recorded as selling some land to Horace Walpole in 1775. Morrison continued in business until 1783.
