  Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Worshipful Company of Armourers and Brasiers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London.
The Armourers' Guild was established in 1322; it received a Royal Charter in 1453.
The Company does support the metallurgy industry, but does not retain a close association with its original trade, as is the case with a majority of Livery Companies.

 Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

Until 1835 membership of a Company was the only avenue to the Freedom, or full citizenship, of the City of London.
When in that year the Common Council decided that the intervention of a Company should no longer be necessary, fears were expressed that the end of these ancient corporate bodies was in sight.
That this fear was groundless is seen in the great increase during the last century in the number of those entitled to wear the livery, or clothing, of their respective companies.
