Matthew Boulton (1728-1809) was an English inventor, engineer and silversmith.  Boulton’s working career started with his father’s toy making business, evolving over time to include the manufacture of steam engines, silversmithing, Sheffield plate and coinage.  

The Boulton twin sun trademark on Sheffield plate continued in use by the Matthew Boulton Plate Company until 1832.
