We have a passion for English and Continental silver, with pieces dating from the 18th to 20th centuries - Georgian, Victorian, Arts & Crafts, Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Our collection includes dining silverware such as flatware, cruets, casters, and napkin rings, as well as boxes, stationery, and nécessaires. We also love sourcing unique Asian silver, including Burmese, Chinese, and Indian pieces.
Provenance matters deeply to us. Every item we offer is a genuine vintage or antique piece, carefully chosen for its quality and authenticity. We take great pride in inspecting each piece meticulously, so you can buy with confidence and enjoy a little piece of history in your home.
