Let’s Chat about Antique Silver

A little about Me

For over 40 years I have specialised in Georgian, antique and vintage silver. My experience is rooted in a lifetime of study, careful connoisseurship and practical trade: selecting, assessing and restoring pieces to the highest standards. I travel both near and far — attending country-house sales, specialist auctions and private collections — in search of the very best examples of silver.

My eye is trained to recognise condition, provenance and maker’s work, and I place great importance on accurate description and fair, transparent pricing. Whether sourcing fine Georgian tableware, an Art Deco centerpiece or a mid-century silver item, I prioritise authenticity, condition and aesthetic quality.

Clients value my knowledge and discretion. I advise collectors, interior designers and private buyers on acquisition, care and resale, and I can provide condition reports, provenance information and guidance on conservation when required.

If you are seeking a particular piece or would like assistance building a collection, I am happy to discuss your needs and apply my decades of experience to find the right silver for you.
