OccupationSilversmith

Susanna (sometimes Susannah) Barker was an English silversmith.

Classified as a smallworker, Barker worked in London, registering her date mark on 25 June 1778. A second mark was registered on 12 August 1789, with a third following on 26 August the same year. At one time she worked out of a shop at 16 Gutter Lane; from 1790 until 1793 she is recorded as working as a goldsmith at 29 Gutter Lane. [1] Silversmith Robert Barker, who registered his own mark in 1793, may have been her son. [2] Barker specialized in the making of wine labels, [1] and was noted especially for her star-shaped and eye-shaped designs. [3]

Three wine labels by Barker, dated to 1792, are owned by the National Museum of Women in the Arts. [1] The Victoria and Albert Museum owns a silver bottle ticket by her, dated to around 1800. [4]
