Silver Through the Ages

Few materials have travelled so widely or carried so many meanings as silver. Prized for its lustre, durability, and malleability, silver has been shaped across millennia into coinage, jewellery, ritual vessels, and objects of daily life.

Starting a Collection: Contemporary Silver

Contemporary silver is one of the most exciting and approachable areas of the decorative arts today. It’s a space where traditional craft meets bold, inventive design. 

How to Read Silver Hallmarks

For over seven centuries, hallmarks have offered collectors and silversmiths a unique form of authentication; an unbroken record of the who, what, where and when behind a silver object’s creation.

The Craft of Everyday Silver

Some of the most compelling silver ever made was not created for ceremonial occasions but for daily use. 

What Trustees Should Know Before Selling Church Silver

When churches in Scotland and across the UK undergo amalgamation, trustees are often faced with difficult decisions about ecclesiastical assets. 

Our March 2026 Silver &amp; Objets de Vertu auction opens with a refined selection of Continental and international wares, including a Russian walking cane by the esteemed firm Fabergé.Scottish silver remains a prominent feature, with fine examples from the respected Edinburgh firm Hamilton &amp; Inches. The sale also presents the final selection from the studio of Dr Rodger Drew, a graduate of the Glasgow School of Art in the 1980s. Influenced by figures such as Michael Lloyd, Drew’s holloware and jewellery reflect a deep engagement with nature and the Scottish landscape.Leading silversmiths, including Paul Storr, are represented, while the antique silver section concludes with an exceptional collection of antique spoons. The earliest, a Henry VI acorn-knopped spoon dating to circa 1450, forms part of a group assembled with notable care and devotion, largely during the 1980s by a single collector. Further highlights include a range of collectables, among them coins, Victorian hardstone jewellery, and a charming group of Victorian posy holders.
