Barnard's were regular suppliers to F.B. Thomas at the time of the 1862 Exhibition. The Official Catalogue notes (p. 61):
'Mr. Thomas, of New Bond Street, exhibits many beautiful and highly-finished specimens of the silversmith's art. His attention has evidently been directed to the production of such articles as would be required for daily use... the small, but prettily arranged, case of this exhibitor contains numerous pieces of plate, ably modelled, and of a very high order of merit.'
