Henry George Murphy, aka H. G. Murphy (1884 - 1939) was an English art-deco silversmith. He opened his own workshop in London in 1912. In 1928, following naval service in World War I, he tarted the Falcon Studio, comprising a workshop and retail outlet in Weymouth Street, London. He also taught goldsmithing and enamelling, and became the first head of silversmithing, at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, and became principal in 1936.
