Fine Silver Auction

Silver once again takes centre stage, with 350 lots to tempt collectors and investors alike. Whether you fancy some Scottish provincial pieces, a large trophy or two, or even some sacred Indian vessels, we have them. We are pleased to be featuring heavily on caddy spoons, with the collection of the late David R. Melliar-Smith (lots 127–155) and other properties. For the academics among you, we have a comprehensive library of reference books, with a leaning toward Scottish interest — some 35 lots. We also have a fine selection of early spoons, vinaigrettes, boxes of all types, and foreign and continental silver. If you have any similar items and are considering selling, don’t hesitate to get in touch and our specialists will be delighted to discuss including them in one of our upcoming auctions. Request a free valuation through our simple online form and our team will be in touch with straightforward, expert advice.

Fine Jewellery Auction

Antique Jewellery is the flavour of this auction, with one particular piece which dates back more than 2,000 years. Lot 500 is a ring set with a gold coin from the Kingdom of Macedonia during the reign of Alexander the Great. Fast-forwarding two millennia, there are a good number of pieces from the Georgian and Victorian periods, including a fabulous tiara with brooch fittings, multiple hardstone cameos, and a lovely banded agate necklace with matching chandelier earrings. Historically interesting is a Women's Suffrage necklace, Lot 469, by Hugo Schaper of Berlin, in its original box. There are still some great 20th Century pieces for those with more modern tastes, with big brand names such as Fabergé , Tiffany and Van Cleef & Arpels. If you have any similar items and are considering selling, don’t hesitate to get in touch and our specialists will be delighted to discuss including them in one of our upcoming auctions. Request a free valuation through our simple online form and our team will be in touch with straightforward, expert advice.
