Margaret Sherratt Keys (née Baines; after first marriage, Sherratt; after second marriage, Keys; 1856-1942) was a British-born American porcelain painter and the proprietor of Sherratt's China Art Store in Washington, D.C.
Margaret Baines was born in Longton, England. Her parents were Joseph and Hannah (Johnson) Baines.
Keys was educated at private school at Longton.
She came to to the U.S. in 1879, and became a resident of Washington, D.C. in 1889.
Keys organized with her first husband, Samuel Sherratt, one of the first china art stores in the nation's capital. In 1893, she attracted nation-wide attention in decorative art circles, by the work she exhibited in the Woman's Department, Columbian Exposition, Chicago, and received their medal for best work in the line of decorated china.
Keys was a member of the Washington Chamber of Commerce.
Her first marriage was to Samuel Sherratt (died 1903); the second was to Marion H. Keys.
