1834 - THE BEGINNING
German silversmith Philipp Wolf I created the company in 1834 when he discovered that his silver pieces sold more successfully when presented in beautiful boxes. As he began selling more boxes than silver, he refocused his efforts creating sophisticated jewellery cases which not only looked beautiful but protected meaningful treasures.
His son, Philipp Wolf II, his father's apprentice, spent an enjoyable summer in southern Sweden and decided to immigrate to Malmö. There he started his own workshop and soon earned the respect and recognition within the area for his craft. As time passed, his sons, Ernst and Philipp III, proudly continued the tradition of box making. In 1962, Philpp Wolf IV immigrated to England to start a new factory. Over time, his highly automated factory employed over 300 people and was recognized as the largest manufacturer of jewelery boxes and display materials for all of Great Britain and much of Europe.
With each generation, Wolf became an even more unique company. Strong traditions and ethics passed down from one generation to the next. Instilling a sense of pride at the achievements they all have made in this family led business. Simon Philip Wolf V is the current CEO of WOLF, a five generation family-owned company that has been protecting legacy for over 185 years.
