This information has been updated with many thanks to Miles Harrison, who has recently published a new book "Exeter and West Country silver 1700-1900".  This is an extremely comprehensive book and can be bought directly from Miles - simply click HERE

Thomas Eustace was perhaps the most well known and famous of all the Exeter silver-smiths. His work is superb by any standards. Sadly he became bankrupt in 1789.  He is first recorded in 1773 and worked through to 1789.
