Benjamin Walton formed a partnership with William Ryton in Wolverhampton from circa 1810 becoming one of the most prominent japanning factories in the West Midlands. The latter retired in 1842 leaving Walton as the sole owner of the business. His eldest son Frederick continued after his father's death in 1847. The Company exhibited at the Great Exhibition of 1851. (See S.S. DeVoe, English Papier Mache of the Georgian and Victorian Periods, Connecticut, 1971, p. 55 for a discussion of Wolverhampton makers).
