Footnote
Nestled in the hills of Perthshire, Malcolm Appleby’s admiration of nature can also be seen in his work.
Since 1969, Malcolm has been settled in Scotland and is regarded as one of the finest engravers working today. His signature style can be found on pieces as diverse as cufflinks, jewellery, silverware and shotguns.
Commissions such as the orb in the Prince of Wales' coronet in 1969 cemented his reputation early on in his career. With a cup and cover commissioned for National Museums Scotland and a centrepiece for Bute House, the residence of The First Minister of Scotland, pieces by Malcolm Appleby are highly sought after and synonymous with contemporary Scottish jewellery and silversmithing.
